“The Girls and Me” will be up and running on Amazon.com by the end of the week. You will be able to find it at amazon.com/author/nancyalvarezwrites should you want to check it out. The new novel will be available as a print on demand (POD) or for your kindle, which you could also use on the ipad. Following is a description of the novel.
The phone jars Rebecca awake: “Naomi in jail. Come,” says the heavily accented voice. Her eldest daughter has been helping the rural poor in ‘Nicador’ for months. The mother and her younger daughter, Sadie, fly south two days later to get Naomi out of this foreign jail, only to discover that the issue of her release is ‘if’, not ‘when’. All three must find a way to cope, and to have a life in the midst of this painful new reality. Like the Julia Alvarez novel, “In The Time of the Butterflies”, it is the strength of the relationships between these women that will get them through the hell they find themselves in, each in her own way, and each with the succor and love they have for one another.
Try it. Some local folks who had bought the book said they couldn’t put it down once they started. Sounds good to me!
