Told through the unique prose of debut author Leslie Welch, this story aims for the core of our emotions. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWebb Turner grew up in a seemingly idyllic Pennsylvanian town, tortured by a troubled household. His young life is turned upside down by the exciting, magnetic, and wild girl next door, Bree. They keep each other at arm's length their whole lives, however, dancing around the issue of their unresolved feelings while Bree's life steadily spirals out of control. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the meantime, Webb's life is on a different trajectory. He escapes the small town to become a globetrotting rock music sensation, with a new romantic interest on his mind and the past left in the rear-view mirror--until he hears that Bree is dying. This shocking news unleashes a torrent of unresolved angst that won't be dammed until Webb drops everything and everybody mid-tour to undertake a dangerous drive through a blizzard to be by Bree's side, just for one last chance to say his final farewell. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith compelling characters, an unflinchingly realistic small-town setting, and emotionally sensitive prose, author Leslie Welch weaves a story that lingers in the mind long after the cover is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Welch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988279135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988279138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blue Moon Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Leslie Welch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940703437055,"sku":"9781988279138","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_53289684-8bab-444c-bd9d-329c70f146a3.jpg?v=1681448708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-goodbyes-leslie-welch-9781988279138","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
