Andrew, an advertising executive in his mid-30s, returns to his hometown in upstate New York for his mother's funeral. He does not intend to stay in the slow rural backwater he left seventeen years before. But the dreams and memories persist and in the darkened farmhouse he relives that hot, bloody night when Eden Close was blinded - by the same gun that killed her father. The enigmatic Eden had been Andrew's childhood companion. Together the two roamed summer cornfields, smoked their first forbidden cigarettes, skated, fished and fought until the tomboy turned temptress - then their friendship ended. Now, despite warnings, Andrew is drawn again to this lost, blind girl of his youth, drawn to save her from the cruel neglect she has endured for seventeen sightless years without him. But first he must discover the grisly truth about that night...
WOW!!! Look what has finally arrived in my mailbox today! Thank you so much for sending this my way. I hope to get to it soon and then offer it up for the next interested reader.
On it's way to guinavive this morning.
This arrived today. It is so exciting to open the mailbox and find a Bookcrossing package. I am looking forward to reading this and happy to mark it off of my wish list.
I was really captivated by this book, though by page 50 I had figured out the end. I think it was supposed to be a big revelation. Still the story intrigued me because, to me, it wasn't just about what exactly happened to Eden that night, it was about Andrew.
This was one of those books that I stayed up way too late to read, trying to fight off sleep to finish one more chapter or one more scene. I will pass it on and hope the next reader enjoys it as much as I did.
