Isabel's Daughter

Proof copy. 8vo. Pp. [viii], 327, [1]. Pictorial wraps.

An intimate tale of a woman – given up at birth – piecing together her mother's identity. Critics have noted the author's unerring tendency to focus on characters forced to remake their lives. In an interview in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Hendricks remarked: "I believe we all reinvent ourselves, and everything we do in life brings us right to where we need to be." By the author of Bread Alone (2001).

"Readers of this fine novel won't want to tune out any part of Avery's life... Calls to mind Barbara Kingsolver in her affinity for wise women and the power of close female friendships." –Karen Holt, Booklist
