The Girl She Left Behind Can you find a home in a place where you never really belonged? Why on earth would Katherine Earle come back to Silver Creek--the small Montana town she couldn't wait to escape? No one has an answer to that million-dollar question, not even Kat herself. At eighteen, she ran away to the big city and got married, but after spending three years alone and on the road, she's finally come home. Well, not home, exactly, because she's renting a motel room and trying to avoid all chance encounters with people who might recognize her. But then she learns that her great-aunt Eva--the domineering woman who raised her--is dying. Pulled back into ancient family intrigues, Kat discovers that the past is something you can't escape. And when an old love unexpectedly appears, she has to choose between the woman she has become and the girl she left behind. "Karen Brichoux writes with a sorcerer's ease and a voice as stunningly clear as the novel's Montana setting, conjuring characters that feel like friends, a world as familiar as home. The Girl She Left Behind is about self-discovery, one woman's courageous journey to understand her own choices and will appeal to anyone who ever wondered, 'What if?'" --Nina Solomon, author of Single Wife. An RT Bookclub Top Pick for July!
