2013-07-10 23:33:39| Powells Books Events Calendar
In Cathy Lamb's new novel, If You Could See What I See (Kensington), documentary filmmaker Meggie O'Rourke's life has collapsed. She has no home, she has little money, and she has wandered the world for a year to get rid of memories she would like to forget forever. She's heading home to Oregon to work in the family's struggling lingerie business. Meggie loves her iron-willed Grandma, her continually bickering sisters, and her blunt sex-therapist mother, but they can be exhausting. After she interviews her Irish-born grandma and hears the tragic secrets she has held close for decades, Meggie is inspired to interview the women in her family. She gets much more than she expected — stories of hopes, regrets, loss, hilarity, heartache, and joy. Through the women's stories, Meggie begins to find clarity in her own life and a way to move forward into the future.
