Can one terrible moment change your life forever?

 "The days and weeks that followed were snapshots in his mind. Cluttered night tables, filled with pill bottles on his mother's side." To those on the outside, the Powells are a happy family, but then a devastating accident destroys their fragile façade. When seven year-old Henry is blamed for the tragedy, he tries desperately to make his parents happy again.

 As Henry grows up, he is full of potential - a talented sportsman with an academic mind and a thirst for adventure - but soon he questions if the guilt his parents have burdened him with has left him unable to escape his anguished family or their painful past.

 With a delicate touch and masterful attention to detail, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Flock invites us to meet a man both ordinary and extraordinary, and to experience a life that has yet to be lived.

Everything Must Go

"Moi, c'est Carrie. Carrie Parker. Enfin, avant, je m'appelais Carrie Culver, mais depuis que maman s'est remariée avec Richard, c'est comme ça : moi et Emma, on s'appelle Parker. Emma, c'est ma petite sour. À nous voir, on le croirait pas, pourtant. Ses cheveux à elle sont tellement blonds qu'on dirait du fil de coton blanc. Pas comme les miens. Et puis, elle n'a peur de rien, Emma. Sauf de Richard quand il devient très méchant...".

Moi & Emma

Praised for her "haunting" (Booklist) and "tremendously touching" (Kirkus Reviews) novels, Elizabeth Flock reveals the inner workings of a modern marriage with unflinching honesty in Sleepwalking in Daylight, delivering a provocative story that Publishers Weekly calls "redemptive.familiar and melancholy. "

 Once defined by her career and independence, stay-at-home mom Samantha Friedman realizes her life has become a routine of errands, car pools and suburban gossip. She deals with a husband who shows up for dinner but is too preoccupied for conversation, an increasingly moody daughter who won't talk at all, and wonders, Is this it? Since finding out she was adopted, seventeen-year-old Cammy Friedman has felt like an outsider.

 Unwilling to reach out to the parents she once adored, she shields herself behind black clothing and begins to drift into dangerous territory with questionable friends and risky behavior. Mother and daughter indulge in their own respective escapism- for Sam, clandestine coffee dates with a handsome stranger, fueled by the desire to feel something; for Cammy, a furtive search for her birth mother punctuated by sex, pills and the need to feel absolutely nothing-until a pivotal moment in an otherwise average day alters their relationships forever.

 "Heartfelt and poignant, unique and memorable. The story is rich and resonates long after the last page has been turned. " -John Shors, bestselling author of Beneath a Marble Sky
