Fault Lines - Paperback
by Anne Rivers Siddons (Author)
"A literary meteor shower....One great read."
--Detroit News
A classic from New York Times bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons, Fault Lines is the powerful and deeply moving story of three women on a life-changing road trip up the California coast. Pat Conroy (The Prince of Tides) says that Siddons, "ranks among the best of us and delivers the goods--the whole fabulous package--with every book she writes." Fault Lines is one of her finest, a truly stunning read from a novelist acclaimed for her wondrous array of literary masterworks--from Sweetwater Creek to Up Island through Low Country and Nora Nora.
Merritt Fowler is a natural caretaker who has spent most of her life attending to the emotional needs of those closest to her: her beautiful, erratic younger sister, Laura; her self-sacrificing physician husband, Pom; and now Pom's destructive, Alzheimer's-afflicted mother. Exhausted and confused by the burdens she's taken on, Merritt faces a new crisis when a fierce family quarrel makes her fragile sixteen-year-old daughter, Glynn, flee their Atlanta home to seek sanctuary in California with Aunt Laura, a Hollywood actress whose career is in decline. Following Glynn west and deciding to stay there--against her irate husband's wishes--Merritt hopes to heal the ever-widening fissures between mother and daughter, sister and sister. And on an impulsive trip up the coast into the Santa Cruz Mountains--earthquake country--the three women will have to confront their separate demons in order to save and change their lives.
