In a new novel rich in grace, warmth, and courage,
acclaimed author Cathy Lamb tells of one woman's journey of
reinvention in the wake of deep betrayal.
Grenadine Scotch Wild has only vague memories of the
parents she last saw when she was six years old. But she's
never forgotten their final, panicked words to her, urging
Grenadine to run. The mystery of their disappearance is
just one more frayed strand in a life that has lately begun
to unravel completely. One year into her rocky marriage to
Covey, a well known investor, he's arrested for fraud and
embezzlement. And Grenadine, now a successful collage
artist and painter, is facing jail time despite her
innocence.
With Covey refusing to exonerate her unless she comes back
to him, Grenadine once again takes the advice given to her
so long ago: she runs. Hiding out in a mountain town in
central Oregon until the trial, she finds work as a
bartender and as assistant to a furniture-maker who is busy
rebuilding his own life. But even far from everything she
knew, Grenadine is granted a rare chance, as potentially
liberating as it is terrifying--to face down her past, her
fears, and live a life as beautiful and colorful as one of
her paintings. . .
