Customer Reviews

A very satisfying debut novel!

A U.S. Senator is dedicated to ensuring a life of failure for a woman he holds accountable for the suicide of his daughter. The woman succeeds in every way, despite ongoing and unpleasant encounters with the Senator and feelings of guilt for not having done more to prevent a suicide. The story unfolds at a fast pace, full of empathetic and well-developed characters . . . and the end leaves readers well satisfied. Edith's book is a delight. Her prose, singularly pointed and poetic, fully captures the essence a place and time. While written about events that unfold along the eastern coast of the Carolinas, this is a novel all readers will understand. It is a story of strength and commitment, of a woman who stands against adversity and finds love, of protecting the most important elements of a life and of finding peace. An unforgettable first book. We hope for many more!
