Dear Reader, Have you ever felt like you needed to get far away from it all to figure things out? When my character, Catherine Barnes, finds out her husband's been cheating on her, she escapes to rural Guatemala for soul-searching. What's more, she takes along her rebellious teenage son, who very shortly goes missing. In two intense weeks, Catherine learns more about herself than she ever expected. Joyce Maynard, best-selling author of To Die For and At Home in the World, says, "In her novel, TODOS SANTOS, Deborah Clearman has given us a rare look into a world few Americans will ever experience—those parts of Guatemala that extend beyond the picturesque to that strange and mysterious and heartbreaking country..." Tin House Managing Editor, Holly MacArthur, calls TODOS SANTOS "an exotic, timely—and timeless—tale of love, fear, sex, death and renewal." You may never have gone to Guatemala, but if you've ever feared for a child, a friend, or a marriage, you'll know Catherine's "real terrain is the familiar, surprising human heart," says Lesley Dormen. I'd love to hear where you've been to untangle life's knotty problems, whether it's around the globe or across the street. Enter to win at deborah@deborahclearman.com and I'll send a book to five random intriguing replies. Visit my website at deborahclearman.com to see a video of me in Guatemala and learn the story behind the novel. TODOS SANTOS comes with a Reading Group Guide. Enjoy! Yours, Deborah Clearman |
