I was on the edge of something dire. All it took was a little push. That was when I realized what needed to happen. I can take it all and no one can stop me. And there was nothing left to do afterward but get the hell out of town. Catherine Madison is headed West with a suitcase full of cash that isnβt hers. Sheβs just left the only home sheβs ever known, a small town in Nebraska, after the only man she had ever known, her husband, Thomas, deserted her. Sheβs also left behind her deepest, most shameful secrets-among them a dysfunctional family sheβs never quite been able to escape and a marriage whose most intimate moments have plagued her with self-doubt. On the road, she was going to become a new person. Or so she thought. But running away from the past isnβt as easy as she had hoped. When Catherine reaches Las Vegas, she forms surprising new friendships that compel her to reveal what she had sworn sheβd keep hidden, and teach her what human connection really means. Armed with this new knowledge, she is finally emboldened to uncover the truth about her family, come to understand what destroyed her marriage, and prevent her troubled sister from repeating her mistakes. Deeply compassionate and unflinchingly bold, The Melting Season is the story of an indelible characterβs journey from isolation to belonging, as well as an honest look at the things we feel we deserve from our lives- and how far we will go to find them.
