Good things come to those who wait...and wait...and wait some more! This novel has been on our radar for the better part of a year as we've waited for its release and the opportunity to host New York Times bestselling author, Jamie Ford. Leading the conversation on stage will be Carolyn Lamberson. Available for pre order from Wishing Tree Books! (release date August 2) Dorothy Moy breaks her own heart for a living. As Washington’s former poet laureate, that’s how she describes channeling her dissociative episodes and mental health struggles into her art. But when her five-year-old daughter exhibits similar behavior and begins remembering things from the lives of their ancestors, Dorothy believes the past has truly come to haunt her. Fearing that her child is predestined to endure the same debilitating depression that has marked her own life, Dorothy seeks radical help.
