Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly feature of the Breaking the Spine blog. It's a great way to share information about forthcoming books with other readers.
This week's anticipated book:
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Publication date: May 13, 2014
From barnesandnoble.com: From New York Times bestselling author Kaui Hart Hemmings comes the highly anticipated follow-up to The Descendants.
IN THE IDYLLIC SKI TOWN of
Breckenridge, Colorado, Sarah St. John is reeling. Three months ago, her
twenty-two-year-old son, Cully, died in an avalanche. Though single,
Sarah is hardly alone in her grief. Her father, a retiree, tries to
distract her with gadgets from the QVC home shopping channel. Sarah’s
best friend offers life advice by venting details of her own messy
divorce. Even Cully’s father reemerges, stirring more emotions and
confusion than Sarah needs. Still, Sarah feels she is facing the stages
of grief—the anger, the sadness, the letting go—alone.
Barely ready to face the fact she
will never again hear the swoosh of her son’s ski pants, or watch him
skateboard past her window, Sarah is surprised when a strange girl
arrives on her doorstep. Unexpected and unexplained, she bears a secret
from Cully that could change all of their lives forever.
Kaui Hart Hemmings highlights the
subtle poignancies of grief and relationships in this stunning look at
people faced with impossible choices in the wake of a tragedy. With the
unsentimental and refreshingly wry style famous for presenting trouble
in paradise in The Descendants, Hemmings in The Possibilities considers the difficult questions of what we risk to keep our loved ones close.
