No-one brings home the energy of family to form and heal us like national bestselling author Gwynne Forster. Now, in BLUES FROM DOWN DEEP, she crafts an unforgettable story of 1 woman?s search for the family she?s never known?but whose pull she?ll never be able to escape again?
BLUES FROM DOWN DEEP
Regina Pearson hasn't really known any family apart from her late, widowed father. He cut ties along with his family in North Carolina long ago and moved to Hawaii with Regina?s mother, then raised Regina alone following his wife?s accidental death. Living on the list of native Hawaiians so not the same as herself created in Regina an aching for people to call her own. Regina finds among her late parents? effects a letter written forty years earlier that leads to her mother?s sister, Maude, a been-there, done-that blues singer, and her nonagenarian maternal grandfather, head of the extended family in New Bern, North Carolina.
For Regina, going to North Carolina to see Aunt Maude is the chance of a lifetime?an opportunity to bond with the folks who share her roots, her blood, and her heart, and discover the pieces of her she?s been lonely for all these years. But the big, warm, loving family Regina?s wished for is nowhere in sight. Instead, she finds uncles, aunts, and cousins torn apart by secrets and lies, petty squabbles and heartbreaking wounds stretching back for a long time?a contentious clan prepared to draw Regina front-and-center into their troubles whether she wants to be there or not. And simply as her new family conflict threatens to overwhelm her, Regina discovers a passionate connection she hadn?t counted on with a man who?s prepared to show her what real family?s all about?and what must be done to keep carefully the love flowing.
Filled with heartfelt wit and homespun wisdom, BLUES FROM DOWN DEEP is a joyous reminder that love comes when we least expect it, from every side of life, and the family that makes us crazy can also lead us home to the place where we belong.
