Leaving Eden

A beautifully written and powerfully moving novel from the author of 'Entering Normal'.

Tallie Brock dreams of leaving her hometown of Eden, going to Hollywood and becoming a star. Her mother used to say 'the sky's the limit' - but that was before she left home to make a movie in Los Angeles and returned six months later without whispering a word about it.

Now her mother is gone, and Tallie works part-time at the Klip-N-Kurl beauty parlour. So when the Klip-N-Kurl announces it's having a Glamour Day, Tallie thinks this might just be her ticket out of Eden. Instead, it is the start of a journey of heartbreak and discovery that begins and ends with Tallie's own mother . . .

'Leaving Eden' is a wonderfully compelling novel focusing on the secrets, dreams and love that bind a mother and a daughter.
