Carry Yourself Back to Me
Autor Deborah Reeden Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 ian 2012
Famed alt-country artist Annie Walsh has more than enough reason to sing her version of the blues, including a broken heart, a stalled career, and a troubled family. Annie seeks refuge from an upended love affair with her producer, Owen Pettybone, by sequestering herself at home with her old dog Detour, surrounded by a lush Florida tangelo grove. Soon, however, this quiet, small-town existence far from recording studios, ardent fans, and affairs of the heart comes crashing down around her. A violent murder connected to her brother Calder threatens to tear her family apart and forces Annie to shore up her loyalties and uproot profound disappointments from her distant past. Like a fine and forlorn love ballad, the gifted, conflicted Annie lulls the reader into a journey through love and loss that mines the mysterious, and, at times, paradoxical rhythms of the human heart.
Deborah Reed has written here a novel peopled with real, flesh-and-bone characters men and women both as good and delightfully flawed as our best friends, our spouses, ourselves. And the icing on this cake is Reed s lucid, lovely prose. Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum, author of This Life She s Chosen and Swimming with Strangers
Deborah Reed comes from a long line of storytellers and musicians and finds creative inspiration in the composition of alt-country, folk, and homespun goods. She currently resides in the Pacific Northwest, where she also writes suspense fiction under the name of Audrey Braun.

"Deborah
Reed's
novel,Carry
Yourself
Back
to
Me,
tells
the
compelling
story
of
long-held
family
secrets,
romantic
entanglements,
and
a
small
town
murder
that
starts
it
all
unraveling.
With
deft
humor
and
insight
and
a
marvelous
sense
of
pacing,
Reed
explores
the
limits
of
trust
and
loyalty,
the
enduring
nature
of
family
bonds,
and
the
clash
between
illusions
and
truth
in
the
quest
for
lasting
love."

"Carry
Yourself
Back
to
Memarries
gorgeous
and
wise
prose
with
a
can't-help-but-read-one-
more-chapter
plot.
In
it,
Reed
weaves
a
complex
story
of
love
and
longing
that's
mysterious,
intelligent,
and
full
of
heart.
She
had
me
from

one."

"Deborah
Reed
writes
beautifully
about
the
interlocking
puzzles
of
romantic
and
family
love
and
the
patterns
that
play
out
from
generation
to
generation.
While
her
protagonist
is
a
master
of
the
sad
song,
Reed
achieves
a
symphonic
effect—rich,
intense,
and
surprisingly
joyful."
