For Fans of Julia Glass and Ann Hood, a Novel about How
the Choices We Make Last a Lifetime Vegas Girls begins when three former high school
friends, now in their mid-thirties, reunite in their
hometown of Las Vegas—a city they vowed to escape as soon as
they could—to celebrate their new lives and revisit old
haunts. But what starts out as a week-long, sun-kissed
reunion takes a strange turn as mysterious gifts appear,
familiar faces pop up in unexpected places, and each woman
reveals a secret, private quest. Ramona is searching for a son she gave up for adoption
before their high-school graduation. Jane is trying to leave
her husband of eleven years, even with her two kids in tow.
And Ivy, who has a new baby, is haunted by the memory of her
mother abandoning her twenty years ago—and she has begun
spotting her everywhere. Add to this a darkly charismatic
ex-boyfriend of Ivy’s who won’t give up hope of rekindling
their romance, and a strange, new friend of Jane’s in need
of help, and the week quickly begins to unravel. Set against desert heat, swimming pools, and casino lights,
and told masterfully through five different points of view,
Vegas Girls is about how we navigate the present
while carrying the ghosts of our past; about growing up with
one eye glued to the rearview mirror; and about what happens
when the past you thought you left behind turns out to have
been with you all along. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good
Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books
for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas,
political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical
fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic
literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics
including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.
While not every title we publish becomes a New York
Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are
committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked
and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
