Fiction
From Jean Reynolds Page—the critically acclaimed author of
The Space Between Before and After and one of the
most compelling voices in contemporary women's fiction—comes
a dazzling novel of loss and redemption, of relationships
that damage and those that heal. Thirty-nine and
pregnant by a man she's decided to leave behind in
California, Jules' life is changing. Always the protected
daughter, she must now relinquish that role and prepare to
be a mother herself. But her efforts are upstaged by
shocking allegations from a local teen in her North Carolina
hometown. The boy has accused her of what the police are
calling "inappropriate sexual contact." Three men rally in her defense: Lincoln, her brother, who
flies in from New York to help her; Sam, her high school
boyfriend, who after so many years still offers
unconditional support; and Walt, the uncle of the teen, who
charms Jules with his intelligence and unanticipated
kindness. Her search for the truth about the
troubled teenager becomes, for Jules, a first step toward
discovering the woman she wishes to be. But with so many
wrong choices behind her, how can she trust herself with the
future of her unborn child?
