*Shelter Me*
“Like a gorgeous dark jewel, Hatvany’s novel explores the tragedy
of a mind gone awry, a tangled bond of father and daughter, and the
way hope and love sustain us. It does what the best fiction does:
it makes us see and experience the world differently.”
*New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You*
“I’m telling everyone about Best Kept Secret. It’s the realistic
and ultimately hopeful story of Cadence, whose glass of wine at the
end of the day becomes two…then…three…then a bottle. I love that
Cadence feels so familiar, she could be my neighbor, my friend, or
even my sister.”
*#1 New York Times bestselling author*
“I was transfixed by Cadence and her heart-wrenching dilemma. The
writing is visceral, the problems are real, and there are no clear
solutions. You won’t want to put it down.”
