The Lake of Dreams
Author: Kim Edwards

At a crossroads in her life, Lucy Jarrett returns home to upstate New York 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 idle curiosities, but soon reveal a hidden family history.  As Lucy explores these traces of her lineage-from an heirloom blanket and dusty political tracts to a web of allusions depicted in stained-glass windows, both in her hometown and beyond-a new family narrative emerges.  It will link her to a unique slice of the suffragette movement, and yield dramatic insights that will free her to live her life to its fullest and deepest.

With revelations as captivating as the deception at the heart of her best-selling phenomenon, The Memory Keepers Daughter, Kim Edwards now gives us a powerful family story and a story of love lost and found.  The Lake of Dreams is an arresting novel in which every vibrant detail is as carefully placed as a puzzle.  With her signature gifts of lyricism, suspense, and masterly storytelling, Kim Edwards's new novel will delight those who loved The Memory Keeper's Daughter and mesmerize millions of new fans.
