Repackaged into trade paperback to coincide with the Delta release of Before and After, Rosellen Brown's "Tender Mercies" is "a haunting novel ... (with) prose as masterful, and as moving, as any being written today". (The New York Times)Laura and Dan Courser are a less than perfect, but deeply passionate couple with two young children and lots of plans. Until Dan, displaying the boyish bravado that made Laura fall in love with him, takes the tiller of a boat he can't handle and causes the accident that shatters their lives. In a story filled with astonishing revelations, two people confront the guilt and anger, devotion and desire that can help to heal the wounded heart. | Tender Mercies by Rosellen Brown, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
