Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!

Remember Me

by Laura Hendrie

Hardcover ~ January 1999

Readers who enjoy the novels of writers such as Barbara Kingsolver and E. Annie Proulx will love Laura Hendrie, whose prizewinning story collection, Stygo, launched her literary career in 1994. Now, Hendrie has delivered a major novel featuring the wily and tenacious twenty-nine-year-old Rose Devonic, a character as memorable, unorthodox, and engaging as any in recent fiction.

Rose lives in the tiny mountain town of Queduro, New Mexico, where she--like almost all the inhabitants of the town--makes her living by selling embroidery. However, Rose has no home and no family. In winter she sleeps in one of the cold cabins in a mostly abandoned motel, in summer she lives out of her car. A tragedy in her past, which serves as a constant reminder to her neighbors of their complicity, has made her an outcast.

Determined as she is to make a fresh start, Rose's past threatens constantly to engulf her. Only by facing down her ghosts - and her hometown - will she learn how to accept the ultimately liberating challenges of belonging, identity, and love.

This OR That #Giveaway № 132 ~ The Girl Before by J.P. Delaney OR Remember Me by Laura Hendrie #TheGirlBefore #RememberMe

I have sooooo many books!

Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!

*****************

The Girl Before

by J.P. Delaney

Hardcover ~ Published April 2017

An enthralling psychological thriller that spins one woman's seemingly good fortune and another woman's mysterious fate through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death, and deception.

Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life.

The request seems odd, even intrusive - and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating.

Emma

Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant - and it does.

Jane

After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street, she is instantly drawn to the space - and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home's previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror as the girl before.
