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 isn’t hers. She’s just left the only home she’s
ever known, a small town in Nebraska, after the only man she
had ever known, her husband, Thomas, deserted her. She’s
also left behind her deepest, most shameful secrets-among
them a dysfunctional family she’s 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 isn’t 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 she’d 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 character’s 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.
