Description
An international bestselling novelist asks: What does it take to be a good woman-and what does it take "from" you?Susanna Greenfield has given her all to being a good daughter, sister, wife, and mother. Somehow, she's maintained her profession as a college art teacher, as well as rearing two headstrong teenagers and nurturing a twenty-year marriage to Gerry, a confident, ambitious architect. She's also the eternal peacemaker between her pretty younger sister Angie, former junkie turned born-again Christian, and their strong- willed mother, Jean.
Just when Susanna is struggling to revive her creative career, a devastating accident rips apart the fabric of her world, exposing secrets which threaten to destroy both a marriage, and a life. Plumbing the rich emotional vocabulary of faith and betrayal, loyalty and forgiveness, "Trust" is the story of a woman's challenge to find her self.
“Similar to Anne Tyler in her wry affection for her characters and to Anita Shreve in her aptitude for creating compulsively readable plotlines…with its brisk pacing and compassionate take on human failing, this absorbing novel is sure to win many fans.” – Booklist
“Warm and always honest, Veitch manages to capture the ebb and flow of sibling dynamics and illuminate the mixed bag of emotions that comes with family life.” – Vogue (Australia)
