With revelations that
prove as captivating as the deceptions at the heart of her bestselling
phenomenon The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards now gives us the
story of a woman's homecoming, a family secret, and the old house that
holds the key to the true legacy of a family.
At a crossroads in her life, Lucy Jarrett returns home from Japan,
only to find herself haunted by her father's unresolved death a decade
ago. Old longings stirred up by Keegan Fall, a local glass artist who
was once her passionate first love, lead her into the unexpected. Late
one night, as she paces the hallways of her family's rambling lakeside
house, she discovers, locked in a window seat, a collection of objects
that first appear to be useless curiosities, but soon reveal a deeper
and more complex family past. As Lucy discovers and explores the traces
of her lineage00from an heirloom tapestry and dusty political tracts to a
web of allusions depicted in stained-glass windows throughout upstate
New York-the family story she has always known is shattered, Lucy's
quest for the truth reconfigures her family's history, links her to a
unique slice of the suffragette movement, and yields dramatic insights
that embolden her to live freely.
With surprises at every turn, brimming with vibrant detail, The Lake
of Dreams is an arresting saga in which every element emerges as a
carefully place piece of the puzzle that's sure to enthrall the millions
of readers who loved The Memory Keeper's Daughter.
