I am thrilled- beyond thrilled to get this fantastic book into another pair of hands. Adding to the growing list of signed books we will be giving away on October 2nd at AN EVENING WITH NADINE DARLING in Cambridge, MA, we are proud to include the brilliant THE BOOK OF LANEY by Myfanwy Collins.
After her brother is involved in a grisly murder-suicide, fifteen-year-old Laney is sent to live with her grandmother in the Adirondack Mountains. Laney gradually warms to her new home—especially her relationship with a mysterious neighbor—but before she can appreciate her new life, she must uncover the secrets that have haunted her family for decades.
Myfanwy Collins was born in Montreal but moved to the Adirondack Mountains in New York when she was still a child. She has since lived all over New England and worked as a waitress, a bartender, a nanny, a chambermaid, a clerk, a high school English teacher, a secretary, a ghost writer, and a traveling worker with Cirque du Soleil. She is the author of a novel, Echolocation, and a collection of short stories, I Am Holding Your Hand.
