Sometimes, a woman has to rescue herself.
Jenny Newberg, Queen of Bad Decisions,
is about to make another one. In a small town where everyone
knows everyone’s business, down-on-her-luck single
mother Jenny is on a first-name basis with the debt
collector at the bank, who is moving toward foreclosure. She
is constantly apologizing to her precocious young daughter,
Billie Starr, who is filling a book with her mother’s
sorries, and it seems to Jenny that no apology will ever be
enough.
Then a pair of strangers in black suits
offers her a hefty check to seduce someone known as the
Candidate. Finally, something will go her way.
But nothing ever goes as Jenny plans, and she is swept
into the Candidate’s orbit. Surrounded by a wide
universe of new ideas, she realizes how constrained her life
has been by the expectations of everyone around her, and she
starts to see how much more she might be capable of. And
when her world is rocked to its core and Billie Starr may be
in danger, Jenny is forced to do what she once thought
impossible: trust in herself and her own power to make
things right.
Shimmering with rage and sparkling
with subtle humor, Billie Starr's Book of
Sorries showcases Edgar Award-nominee Deborah E.
Kennedy's singular voice and shines a light on the town of
Benson, Indiana, where lakes, grudges, and family rifts run
deep – but so does a mother’s love.
