Wren - Paperback
by Tricia Gates Brown (Author)
"This insightful novel tackles questions of parenthood, marriage, and friendship with finesse and empathy, with striking descriptions of Oregon topography." -Kirkus Reviews
WREN is the story of two women who shared a tragedy in their youth that impacted each of their lives in far-reaching and rather different ways. While Bernadette dealt head-on with the trauma and loss of her youth and commenced to live life fully, Wren shrank from life, choosing a path of distraction and repression. When the women are brought together by Wren's decision to leave her husband of forty-plus years (though she doesn't acknowledge at the time what she's chosen), the past crashes into the present, with discoveries about her parents and the arrival of children whose lives mysteriously intersect her own. The lessons Wren must learn about attachment and honest emotion involve a choice between living and not living the life she's been granted, as she watches life slip from the hands of her old friend. "A vibrancy and courage transform Wren and lead her to take a radical new course in life. Get this book, but set aside time. You won't put it down." -Jake Owensby, Looking for God in Messy Places "WREN sneaks up on you with its brilliance and poignancy. Its characters may live with you forever."Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
