Women's Fiction
National bestselling author Lesley Kagen makes her
hardcover debut with an extraordinary literary thriller,
rendered through the eyes of an unforgettable eleven-year-
old girl. During the summer of 1968, Shenandoah Carmody's
mother disappeared. Her twin sister, Woody, stopped
speaking, and her once-loving father slipped into a mean
drunkenness unbefitting a superior court judge. Since then,
Shenny-named for the Shenandoah valley-has struggled to
hold her world together, taking care of herself and her
sister the best she can. Shenny feels certain that Woody
knows something about the night their mother vanished, but
her attempts to communicate with her mute twin leave her as
confused as their father's efforts to confine the girls to
the family's renowned virginia estate. As the first
anniversary of their mother's disappearance nears, her
father's threat to send Woody away and his hints at an
impending remarriage spur a desperate Shenny to find her
mother before it's too late. She is ultimately swept up in
a series of heartbreaking events that force her to come to
terms with the painful truth about herself and her family.
Told with the wisdom, sensitivity, and humor for which
Lesley Kagen has become known, Tomorrow River is a stellar
hardcover debut.
