Böcker av Maureen Brady

After Cookie Wagner stabs her abusive husband, she flees to remote Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. For a moment, she seems to have gotten away with murder. But, consigned to a secretive life with a new name and the need to be on constant alert, she faces all she has not gotten away with. She's helped and feared by her new neighbors and dares to hope for a second chance. Even as the coastal winds of this wild place force the trees to grow on an angle, she too begins to grow.Yet, there is no leaving behind the notion that Warren is dead as the result of her action. But is he? And if not, will he one day come to find her?"A tension-filled yet ultimately humane story about hard-won second chances. Warm and wise, Maureen Brady's Getaway takes the reader on a suspenseful and memorable journey to the tenderest corners of the human heart." --Aaron Hamburger, author of The View from Stalin's Head and Faith for Beginners
