From my backlist: Meredith Alone (Claire Alexander)

This book has received many excellent reviews; if readers do not know it already, now would be a good time to take a look.

Changes are about to come Meredith’s way. Readers will be hoping that she will embrace them and find a happy ending after her three years of staying inside. Meredith has kept busy; after all, she has her job, her feline, her on-line support group, and her hobbies. But, could there be more for Meredith than friends who come to her? Could she make it outside again?

Readers learn that Meredith suffered trauma earlier in her life. How will she move past (or through) this? What will happen when a relative gets in touch? Will Meredith move forward? No spoiler, so read this Glasgow based story to find out. It is a good read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.
