Waiting on Wednesday – 9

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

Two very different books I am waiting for this week!

The first is a new novel from Laura Brodie. I read her novel The Widow’s Season in 2009 (wow, time goes fast!) and it has since been a favorite of mine. Brodie’s writing just struck a chord with me, and so this book is one of my most waited for this year.

The second book is the third of one of my favorite YA series. Angels often let me down, but Hand’s angels do the exact opposite. Plus, book two was a favorite this year; I can’t wait to read this next one!

All the Truth by Laura Brodie

(July 3rd, 2012)

One night can alter a life forever… 
Emma Greene enjoys living in rural solitude with her husband and five-year-old daughter, Maggie, far away from her college students in Jackson, Virginia. But late one night, with her husband away and her daughter upstairs in bed, some of Emma’s students trespass on her property. The ensuing confrontation changes Emma and Maggie’s life forever.

Nine years later, still plagued by nightmares from that evening, Maggie is living with her father in the same small town, and entering her first year of high school. She develops problems in class when her math teacher, a strange and lonely woman, begins to exhibit an odd interest in her.

In order to let go of the past, Maggie begins to piece together all the truth of what happened that night—and discovers a story of anger, guilt, and redemption.
