Jennie Shortridge
Dear Reader, Those of you who've read my books know me as someone who focuses on the interior of a life, studying the cracks and fault lines, mining them for hope and redemption, love and connection. With my new novel, WHEN SHE FLEW, I've stepped a little further out into the world to write a story inspired by true events, but still with an inward focus. Police officer Jessica Villareal is drawn into the case of an Iraq-war vet raising his 13-year-old daughter in the Oregon woods. As she tries to determine what is best for the girl, she must come to terms with her own daughter and summon the courage to break the rules she has sworn to uphold in order to do what she believes is right. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed researching and writing it! And remember, I love book groups. Email me to arrange a phone or in-person visit. With gratitude for you, dear readers, Jennie Shortridge www.jennieshortridge.com Enter a drawing to receive one of five signed copies of When She Flew by emailing me at jennie@jennieshortridge.com. "A taut, beautifully rendered novel [with] the urgency of a thriller." —Marisa de los Santos, New York Times bestselling author of Love Walked In and Belong to Me "Jennie Shortridge has done it again...The story of a courageous and independent woman cop and a remarkably insightful feral girl will grab you from the start...with its originality and honesty. You'll want to share this story with your friends." —Selden Edwards, author of The Little Book "A mesmerizing tale of love, damage, and resurrection, propelled by a girl whose gifts are a marvel of the human spirit." —Randy Sue Coburn, author of A Better View of Paradise |
