Dori Ostermiller
Dear Librarian, What compels us to repeat the past? This is the question haunting Sylvia Sandon, the narrator of my new novel, OUTSIDE THE ORDINARY WORLD (MIRA, August 2010)—a literary page-turner that crosses many years and miles—from the California brushfires of the 70's to New England during the first half of this decade. Against the backdrop of fundamentalist Christian mores, 12-year old Sylvie agreed to hold a secret that would devour her family's dream of happiness. Now, 30 years later—a wife, mother and teacher—she finds herself following her own mother's path, into an affair she feels powerless to resist... NYT bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf said this: "Beautifully written and quietly spellbinding, OUTSIDE THE ORDINARY WORLD chronicles the heartbreaking deconstruction of an American family. A compelling story of love, regret and forgiveness that will linger well after the final page." Please visit my website www.doriostermiller.com, to read reviews or a sample chapter. If you sign the guestbook (on the "Contact Dori" page), you'll be entered in the drawing for a free copy of OUTSIDE THE ORDINARY WORLD — coming July 27. Warm Wishes, Dori Ostermiller
