Suncatchers
People have always fascinated sociologist Perry Warren, yet his
most personal relationships--with his wife and young son--are in
shambles. If his marriage crumbles, will his son be raised
fatherless, just as he was? Hoping distance will offer answers,
Perry accepts a writing project in the town of Derby, South
Carolina, and there discovers a wealth of research--and a reason to
hope--in the strange yet fascinating neighbors next door.
Eldeen Rafferty seems completely unfettered by the sorrows she has
known. Instead, she embraces life in all its gritty, glorious
detail, determined to leave cheer in her wake. Perry is baffled by
her unending joy and her boundless gratitude, and he wonders what
she might be able to offer to a life haunted by troubles...a life
he is at a loss to repair on his own.
Suncatchers, Jamie Langston Turner's first novel, launched this
premier novelist's journey toward recognition of her Winter Birds
in Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2006.
