Synopsis:
Meg Clark has turned out to be everything her
father and the people of her little North Country town of Gouvernour, NY, have
been saying her whole life: nothin’ but a piece of white trash. And
that's how she lives; she’s even got the tattoos to prove it. Well that’s how
she was living, until she got knocked up and engaged. In an effort to
hide her past and turn herself around, she spent her inheritance from her dead
mother on the perfect little house with a white picket fence. Then something
terrible happened and Meg got sent to county lockup so her fiancé, Jim,
wouldn’t have to. And then everyone started waking up…dead.
Good thing escaping from County wasn’t hard. Jim
told her exactly how to get free. Now Meg is running and the walking dead are
following. In a last ditch effort to find weapons to protect herself, Meg finds
Sparrow instead. A tall, strange man with a quirk, Sparrow has an obsession
with feathers and the only goal that’s on his mind is finding an old barn on
Route Thirty-Seven with a snowy owl in its rafters.
Meg’s headed to Kingston, where she and Jim agreed
to meet if they ever got separated. But sometimes, crossing the border brings
more than just freedom and protection and safety. Sometimes it brings questions
that someone like Meg would prefer not to answer. And everyone keeps asking
questions, including Sparrow. He thinks she’s hiding something and he’s not
impressed by her stories of the sins she’s been committing all her life. While
Sparrow’s the one who’s a bit cracked in the head, it never occurs to Meg that
she could be the one who’s not remembering something. Like what really happened
that day she killed those seven men.
A good excerpt!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteOhhh... I like the sound of this. The title is cool too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Stay tuned!
DeleteThe feather picture on this page is exactly what I pictured for a cover :)
ReplyDeleteI considered a single feather on the cover for a long time, and then I began noticing how many books have a feather on the cover. It's too many to repeat :(
DeleteBut! I have an artist working on a cover for this book. She does amazing work so I'm excited to see what she comes up with.
