Author Event: Delta Girls by Gayle Brandeis

07/24/2010 2:00 pm
07/24/2010 3:00 pm

Please join us at The Avid Reader at The Tower for our
author presentation of Gayle Brandeis’ new book, Delta Girls.

The lives of two disparate women—a single mother working
hard to make ends meet and a young figure skater at the top of her game—entwine
in an unforgettable novel of warmth, depth, and wisdom.

Izzy and her daughter Quinn have been on the move for all of Quinn’s nine
years. Izzy works the fields as a fruit picker, following the produce north and
south through the growing season. When they reach a struggling pear orchard in
the Sacramento River Delta, Izzy intends it to be just another way station in
their nomadic lives. But the orchard and its kindly owners capture Quinn’s
heart, and Izzy briefly forgets that she’s running from a past that still
haunts her—until a strange incident brings national media attention to the
Delta.

Seemingly a world away, Karen is a rising young star in figure skating with an
edgy, daring new partner. Nathan is everything her old teammate wasn’t: sexy,
dangerous, and extremely headstrong. As Karen nears her eighteenth birthday,
the partners find themselves on the world stage—and the simmering intensity
between them finally erupts.

As each woman struggles with a sudden thrust into the spotlight, their
narratives become more intertwined—until Izzy’s past and Karen’s future finally
collide.
