Praise for All the Best People "Not just the best people, but real people: authentic, quirky and troubled. I cared for them all."--Chris Bohjalian, author of The Sleepwalker and The Guest Room "Beautifully rendered and aching in its portrayal of a mother's slide into mental illness--destined to be a book club favorite."--Christopher Scotton, author of The Secret Wisdom of the Earth "Yoerg spins the story of a family on the brink of collapse--writing with tenderness, grace, and truth."--Randy Susan Meyers, bestselling author of Accidents of Marriage "A powerful and haunting novel about betrayal and shame, acceptance and unconditional love. Book clubs will devour it."--Barbara Claypole White, bestselling author of The Perfect Son and Echoes of Family "A stirring tale of mothers and daughters, their secrets and their strength...a mesmerizing read."--Lynda Cohen Loigman, author of The Two-Family House "Gorgeously written and unforgettable, your heart will break and swell in equal measure."--Kate Moretti, New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Year "The character development is superb...A perfect selection for book clubs."--Historical Novel Society, Praise for the novels of Sonja Yoerg "[An] action-packed, heart-tugging novel."--Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of Missing Pieces "A powerful tale of the ways in which families hurt and heal...Gorgeously written with characters that shine."--Eileen Goudge, New York Times bestselling author of Swimsuit Body "Several passages took my breath away, and more than once I was moved to tears."--Beth Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Me "Beautiful descriptions of the John Muir Trail are reminiscent of Strayed's Wild and equally lyrical, but Yoerg ups the ante with both a romance and a thrilling subplot. A complete page turner!"--Kate Moretti, New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Year "Compelling...everything I love in women's fiction."--Lori Nelson Spielman, international bestselling author of Sweet Forgiveness "A truly enjoyable, fast-paced read about both the perils of the wilderness and the perils that lie within the hearts of all of us."--Kristin Harmel, international bestselling author of When We Meet Again "A riveting tale exploring the power of family secrets."--Ellen Marie Wiseman, author of Coal River " The Middle of Somewhere features Sonja Yoerg's characteristic clean, intelligent writing and perfectly imperfect characters."--Julie Lawson Timmer, author of Untethered
Synopsis
An intricately crafted story of madness, magic and misfortune across three generations from the author of The Middle of Somewhere and House Broken ... Vermont, 1972. Carole LaPorte has a satisfying, ordinary life. She cares for her children, balances the books for the family's auto shop and laughs when her husband slow dances her across the kitchen floor. Her tragic childhood might have happened to someone else. But now her mind is playing tricks on her. The accounts won't reconcile and the murmuring she hears isn't the television. She ought to seek help, but she's terrified of being locked away in a mental hospital like her mother, Solange. So Carole hides her symptoms, withdraws from her family and unwittingly sets her eleven-year-old daughter Alison on a desperate search for meaning and power: in Tarot cards, in omens from a nearby river and in a mysterious blue glass box belonging to her grandmother. An exploration of the power of courage and love to overcome a damning legacy, All the Best People celebrates the search for identity and grace in the most ordinary lives.
