Women's Fiction
Praised as “a tender exploration of friendship, families,
and first love” (Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling
author of The Husband’s Secret), this coming-of-age novel
from bestselling author Frances Whiting is equal parts
heartwarming, accessible, and thought provoking. “Tallulah de Longland,” she said slowly, letting all the Ls
in my name loll about lazily in her mouth before passing
judgment. “That,” she announced, “is a serious glamorgeous
name.” From the day Annabelle Andrews sashays into her classroom,
Tallulah ‘Lulu’ de Longland is bewitched: by Annabelle, by
her family, and by their sprawling, crumbling house
tumbling
down to the river. Their unlikely friendship intensifies through a secret
language where they share confidences about their unusual
mothers, first loves, and growing up in the small coastal
town of Juniper Bay. But the euphoria of youth rarely
lasts,
and the implosion that destroys their friendship leaves
lasting scars and a legacy of self-doubt that haunts Lulu
into adulthood. Years later, Lulu is presented with a choice: remain the
perpetual good girl who misses out, or finally step out
from
the shadows and do something extraordinary. And possibly
unforgivable… It’s not how far you fall, but how high you bounce.
