Sobre aquest llibre
A woman embarks on a journey of recovery as she grapples with old trauma and a recent tragedy in this ”beautifully written novel” (Kimberla Lawson Roby).
“In My Bedroom is so powerful and mesmerizing that I was compelled to read it in one sitting. The characters are well-drawn and full of life—I feel like I know them personally.” —Mary Monroe, author of God Still Don’t Like Ugly
Rayne Holland is a woman who appears to have it all: a handsome, successful husband, a beautiful five-year-old daughter, and a rapidly rising film career. What everyone doesn’t realize is that the real picture is not so perfect. And in the recesses of Rayne’s mind, she harbors a dark past that even she is unaware of. Then tragedy strikes, and Rayne slowly discovers that the story of her life is just beginning, and nothing and no one are as they seem . . .
Gayle has been Rayne’s best friend for years and always secretly wished that her life was more like Rayne’s, from Rayne’s wonderful husband to her burgeoning success. Gayle had been the one to introduce Paul to Rayne and a small part of her still regrets the day. Although Gayle married a good man and has a good life, she can’t help feeling that the grass may be greener on the other side. Out of a deep sense of guilt, Gayle tries to help Rayne along the road to recovery, even at the expense of her own marriage . . .
Pauline, Rayne’s psychologist, found herself drawn to the lovely woman from the moment they met. For in Rayne, she sees parts of herself, disturbing similarities and secret pains. Faced with the most daunting case of her career, Pauline must walk the thin line of medical ethics knowing that if she saves Rayne, she may lose everything—but if she takes the risk, she may save herself as well and unlock the secrets that would free them all.
Told with Donna Hill’s grace, wit and uncompromising honesty, this novel explores the strength, passion, hope and healing of three extraordinary women.
