Journalist and author Parrish (Watch Over Me) weaves a multilayered tale of heartbreak and healing in her newest novel sure to appeal to readers of contemporary fiction. Claire Rodriguez is an empty shell, nearly crushed by the deaths of her two children in a car accident, a miscarriage, and a subsequent divorce. When she meets Hanna Sutter, a child locked in silence after severe trauma, they both begin to heal as they slowly form a relationship. But Hanna disappears abruptly, only to resurface years later in Claire’s life in a most unlikely way. The fortuitous meeting restarts the process of true healing in both women. Parrish has created an exceptional look at trauma and its aftermath, as well as hope and recovery from grief at its best. Readers will love it for sure. Agency: William K. Jensen Literary Agency.
