Walking away from any relationship takes a brave soul, no
matter what the reasons behind the departure may be.
Whether or not the right choice has been made, life must
go on, but the constant self-doubt always seems to
linger. Emmy Everett knows that her fiancé, Matt, is just
going through the motions. His heart is elsewhere and Emmy
deserves more than second best in life. As she leaves her
engagement ring on his pillow as he quietly slumbers, Emmy
takes the first step to finding herself and the meaning of
true fulfillment in life.
Josh is more than the typical older brother. Protective,
intelligent and good-looking, he is the big brother every
girl wishes she had. The dashing doctor, Josh is tying the
knot with his college sweetheart, Meryl, in a wedding
celebration that will surely be nothing less than
exquisite. After three years of soul searching, Emmy must
now come home to partake in a wedding weekend that will
certainly stir up feelings of what could have been. How
can she be certain that she has not made the biggest
mistake of her life?
As she soon discovers, what might seem like perfect from
the outside may not always be what it is on the inside.
Wrestling with thoughts of self-doubt, Emmy must put aside
her own demons and come to the aid of her brother in his
crucial time of need. Never in her life has she been put
in a situation in which her actions could affect the
future of so many people she loves. Torn between loyalty
and honesty, Emmy finds herself making decisions that will
ultimately help her to choose the path in life that she
must now take.
Heartwarming, emotional and thought-provoking, Laura
Dave's debut novel strikes at the core of the ties that
bond a brother and sister. As she eloquently describes the
emotions siblings share, Dave reminds us all of the
genuine love that still exists among families today. Her
descriptive storytelling makes the reader feel a
connection to the lead characters as if they were the
family next door. LONDON IS THE BEST CITY IN AMERICA is
truly a winner.
Three years ago, Emmy Everett made the painful decision
to call off her engagement and leave New York City behind.
Since then she has been hiding out in Rhode Island working
at a bait and tackle shop and haphazardly shooting a
documentary about fishermen's wives. July 4th weekend has
rolled around again and Emmy is mustering up the courage to
return home to New York (the site of her own failed
romance) to celebrate her brother Josh's wedding.
En route to his bachelor party, Emmy is shocked when her
typically resolute brother confesses that he is having
serious doubts about getting married � and he may even be
in love with another woman.
Emmy is determined to
help her brother face up to this decision�the one she fled
from herself. With less than twenty-four hours to go before
the wedding, she takes Josh on a road trip to find this
mystery woman. Along the way, Emmy embraces her own
hard-earned lessons about romance, commitment and what
happens when we refuse to let go of the past.
