"It was time to stop looking backward. . . . He opened the new journal and its blankness sent a ripple of fear through him." ~ from The Brevity of Roses The middle ground. We've all been there. And, in her debut novel, Linda Cassidy Lewis takes us back there, to that place of fear and uncertainty, through the lives of three unforgettable characters. Jalal, Meredith, and Renee have little in common, except that each is tethered to the weight of a painful past and unable to embrace the future. Incidental decisions, like a left turn instead of a right, bring the characters together. Unexplained connections urge them forward, to new life and to healing. Linda gives her readers a well-designed book (she created the artwork for the book's cover as well!) and a story that will leave you thinking about the characters long after you reach the end.
