Blogiversary Giveaway with Sarah Pekkanen, author of Things You Won't Say
SUMMARY
In this timely and
provocative novel, internationally bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen
takes us inside a family in crisis and a marriage on the brink after a
tragic shooting.
How far would you go to save your family?
Every
morning, as her husband Mike straps on his SIG Sauer and pulls on his
heavy Magnum boots, Jamie Anderson tenses up. Then comes the call she
has always dreaded: There's been a shooting at police headquarters. Mike
isn't hurt, but his long-time partner is grievously injured. As weeks
pass and her husband's insomnia and disconnectedness mount, Jamie
realizes he is an invisible casualty of the attack. Then the phone rings
again. Another shooting but this time Mike has pulled the trigger.
But
the shooting does more than just alter Jamie's world. It's about to
change everything for two other women. Christie Simmons, Mike's
flamboyant ex, sees the tragedy as an opportunity for a second chance
with Mike. And Jamie's younger sister, Lou, must face her own losses to
help the big sister who raised her. As the press descends and public
cries of police brutality swell, Jamie tries desperately to hold
together her family, no matter what it takes.
In her
characteristic exploration of true-to-life relationships, Sarah Pekkanen
has written a complex, compelling, and openhearted novel her best yet.

ABOUT SARAH
"Fans of Jennifer Weiner and Emily Giffin will strongly appreciate this rising star in women's fiction." - Library Journal.
Internationally
bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen's newest book is THE PERFECT
NEIGHBORS. She is also the author of THINGS YOU WON'T SAY, CATCHING AIR,
THE BEST OF US, THE OPPOSITE OF ME, SKIPPING A BEAT, and THESE GIRLS.
Sarah's linked free short estories, published by Simon&Schuster
exclusively for ereaders, are titled "All is Bright," and "Love,
Accidentally."
Sarah is the mother of three young boys, which
explains why she writes part of her novels at Chuck E. Cheese. Sarah
penned her first book, Miscellaneous Tales and Poems, at the age of 10.
When publishers failed to jump upon this literary masterpiece (hey, all
the poems rhymed!) Sarah followed up by sending them a sternly-worded
letter on Raggedy Ann stationery. Sarah still has that letter, and
carries it to New York every time she has meetings with her publisher,
as a reminder that dreams do come true. At least some dreams - Brad Pitt
has yet to show up on her doorstep wearing nothing but a toolbelt and
asking if she needs anything fixed. So maybe it's only G-rated dreams
that come true.
Her website is www.sarahpekkanen.com and please friend her on Facebook and Twitter @sarahpekkanen!
(Note
from Sarah: Here on Goodreads, my policy is to only review books I
really like. If I don't enjoy the book, I won't write about it - it's
just my personal policy.)
