{"product_id":"carry-yourself-back-to-me-deborah-reed-9780547848020","title":"Carry Yourself Back to Me","description":"\"A beautifully written, thoroughly engaging novel. Deborah Reed's prose is lyrical, elegant, and vivid-she is a standout among new American novelists.\"-Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties and Drinking Closer to Home Famed alt-country artist Annie Walsh has more than enough reason to sing her version of the blues, including a broken heart, a stalled career, and a troubled family. Annie seeks refuge from an upended love affair with her producer, Owen Pettybone, by sequestering herself at home with her old dog Detour, surrounded by a lush Florida tangelo grove. Soon, however, this quiet, small-town existence-far from recording studios, ardent fans, and affairs of the heart-comes crashing down around her. A violent murder connected to her brother Calder threatens to tear her family apart and forces Annie to shore up her loyalties and uproot profound disappointments from her distant past. Like a fine and forlorn love ballad, the gifted, conflicted Annie lulls the reader into a journey through love and loss that mines the mysterious, and, at times, paradoxical rhythms of the human heart. \"Deborah Reed has written here a novel peopled with real, flesh-and-bone characters-men and women both as good and delightfully flawed as our best friends, our spouses, ourselves. And the icing on this cake is Reed's lucid, lovely prose.\"-Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum, author of This Life She's Chosen and Swimming with Strangers Deborah Reed comes from a long line of storytellers and musicians and finds creative inspiration in the composition of alt-country, folk, and homespun goods. She currently resides in the Pacific Northwest, where she also writes suspense fiction under the name of Audrey Braun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Reed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0547848021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780547848020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Houghton Mifflin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Deborah Reed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48748303417599,"sku":"9780547848020","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carry-yourself-back-to-me-deborah-reed-9780547848020","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
