Produktbeschreibung

"In a revelation of memory and unflinching insight, prompted by the death of her parents, author Deborah Joy Corey probes the complex bonds between family, lovers, and neighbors that shaped her sense of identity: then, as a girl growing up in rural New Brunswick, and now as a wife and mother living on the coast of Maine. With astonishing skill and delicacy, she weaves a story of faith and transcendence, of loyalty and regret, and shows us how--despite the passage of time and a world fraught with disillusion--wonder prevails and love sustains." -- publisher's web site.

Autorenporträt

Deborah Joy Corey is a Canadian-born author who now lives in Maine. She was prompted to write after reading a tattered copy ofd Joyce Carol Oates' short stories entitled The Wheel of Love. She published a series of short stories, including The Skating Pond which was eventually turned into her second novel. Her first novel was the award-winning Losing Eddie, published in 1993. Losing Eddie is narrated by a young nameless girl, remarkably capturing the voice of \"the good child\" who tries to make sense of the world around her. After The Skating Pond, Corey rented a morning in her home harbor to which she attached a shack in which to write during the summer time. She has lived in Maine since the mid-1990s, living with her husband and two daughters.
