The Girl She Left Behind by Karen
Brichoux
A Gentle And Poignant Coming-Of-Age Story
From the author of Coffee and Kung Fu and Separation Anxiety comes a
refreshingly insightful new novel that asks: Can you find a home in a place
where you never really belonged?
No one knows why Katherine Earle has come back to Silver Creek,
Montana-not even Kat herself. At eighteen, she ran away with her
boyfriend and got married in the big city, but after spending three years
alone and on the road, shes finally come home. Well, not home, exactly,
because shes renting a motel room and trying to avoid all chance
encounters with people who might recognize her. But when shes pulled
back into ancient family intrigues, she must choose between the woman
shes become and the girl she left behind.
Personal Review: The Girl She Left Behind by Karen Brichoux
This is a gem of a book about the struggle all women face, no matter what
their backgrounds -- learning from past mistakes without being
overwhelmed by the pain and guilt thos errors engender. In THE GIRL
SHE LEFT BEHIND, Kat's physical journey ends at the novel's start when
she lands in her hometown after leaving her husband in the dust. But her
emotional journey is just beginning as she encounters the living ghosts of
her childhood and has to make peace with each one in her own way. The
characters are complex and surprising -- just when you think you have one
pegged, Brichoux shows you another dimension to their personalities,
making them fully-realized people and not staged caricatures. This is a
sweet and poignant coming-of-age story that women of all ages should
enjoy.
