Welcome to another Waiting on Wednesday event, hosted by Jill, at Breaking the Spine.
Every week, we gather around the blogosphere and search out the upcoming book releases, sharing our thoughts and blurbs. Today, I am eager to feature another book from a favorite author. I love spotlighting eagerly anticipated books on this blog, the place where I can shout out about my guilty pleasures.
Today’s feature is from another author I have enjoyed for several years. Karen White’s newest book, Flight Patterns, is coming on May 10, 2016.
Blurb: The New York Times bestselling author of The Sound of Glass and coauthor of The Forgotten Room tells the story of a woman coming home to the family she left behind—and to the woman she always wanted to be…
Georgia Chambers has spent her life sifting through other people’s pasts while trying to forget her own. But then her work as an expert of fine china—especially of Limoges—requires her to return to the one place she swore she’d never revisit…
It’s been thirteen years since Georgia left her family home on the coast of Florida, and nothing much has changed, except that there are fewer oysters and more tourists. She finds solace seeing her grandfather still toiling away in the apiary where she spent much of her childhood, but encountering her estranged mother and sister leaves her rattled.
Seeing them after all this time makes Georgia realize that something has been missing—and unless she finds a way to heal these rifts, she will forever be living vicariously through other people’s remnants. To embrace her own life—mistakes and all—she will have to find the courage to confront the ghosts of her past and the secrets she was forced to keep…

Only five months ago, I read this author’s stunning book, The Sound of Glass (click for my review); the characters and the settings showed me that, once again, Ms. White had outdone herself. I can’t wait for this newest novel!
What are you waiting for? Come on by and share….and please leave a link to your post.

Flight Patterns sounds amazing, Laurel-Rain! It is often true that we have to somehow dare to embrace ourselves fully before we can truly live! Thanks for sharing 🙂
