The Girl She Left Behind

The Story

From the author of Coffee and Kung Fuand Separation Anxietycomes a refreshingly insightful new novel that asks: Can you find a home in a place where you never really belonged? No one knows why Katherine Earle has come back to Silver Creek, Montana-not even Kat herself. At eighteen, she ran away with her boyfriend and got married in the big city, but after spending three years alone and on the road, she's finally come home. Well, not home, exactly, because she's renting a motel room and trying to avoid all chance encounters with people who might recognize her. But when she's pulled back into ancient family intrigues, she must choose between the woman she's become and the girl she left behind.
