The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards

From Kim Edwards, the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Memory Keeper's Daughter, an arresting novel of one family's secret history

Imbued with all the lyricism, compassion, and suspense of her bestselling novel, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards's The Lake of Dreams is a powerful family drama and an unforgettable story of love lost and found.

Lucy Jarrett is at a crossroads in her life, still haunted by her father's unresolved death a decade earlier. She returns to her hometown in Upstate New York, The Lake of Dreams, and, late one night, she cracks the lock of a window seat and discovers a collection of objects. 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 Lake of Dreams will delight those who loved The Memory Keeper's Daughter, as well as fans of Anna Quindlen and Sue Miller.

Kim Edwards has received a number of honors, including the Whiting Prize, the Nelson Algren Award, and, most recently, the Kentucky Literary Award for fiction. She is the author of The Secrets Of A Fire King, a collection of short stories that was a PEN/Hemingway Award alternative. Ploughshares, Zoetrope, Anteaus, Story, and The Paris Review have published her tales and articles, which have won a National Magazine Award for Excellence in Fiction and a Pushcart Prize. She currently teaches writing at the University of Kentucky and is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. This is her first work, which Barnes and Noble has chosen as a Discover title. Her spouse and two daughters live in Lexington, Kentucky.
