The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Kim Edwards’s stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964, when Dr. David Henry makes a split second decision that will alter his life, and the lives of his wife, Norah, their children, and his nurse forever. A family drama, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter is also an astonishing tale of love and how the mysterious ties that hold a family together help us survive the heartache that occurs when long-buried secrets are finally uncovered.

The Lake of Dreams

Lucy Jarrett, still haunted by her father’s unresolved death a decade earlier, returns to her lakeside hometown in Upstate New York. Late one night, she discovers a collection of objects hidden in a window seat. They appear to be idle curiosities, but soon Lucy realizes that she has stumbled across a dark secret from her family’s past, one that will radically change her—and the future of her family—forever.

The Secrets of a Fire King

With The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, Kim Edwards touched hearts across the nation. In this, her first collection of stories-now with three new stories added-she explores the lives of those who exist on the fringes of society: a fire-eater, an American and his Korean war bride, Madame Curie’s maid, and others. Though their tales vary dramatically, each comes up against the barriers of place and circumstance in the most universal of experiences: the quest to discover and understand the elusive mysteries of love. Transporting readers to exotic locations, this beautiful collection reinforces Edwards’s presence as an extraordinarily gifted writer.
