2 in stock - Almost gone!

A husband, two children, a job she loves—it’s more than Diane ever dared to hope for. The day Seb leaves her, her world is turned upside down. Consumed by her grief, she doesn’t realize that a tragedy is unfolding elsewhere. Right next to her, in that teenager’s bedroom across from hers, where the laughter has died down. Lou is sixteen, struggling with growing up, and her first heartbreak is tearing her apart in ways that go beyond tears. When Diane realizes what’s happening, she’s willing to do anything to help her—including returning to a past she had fled. Together, mother and daughter walk a tightrope. Beneath their feet, the torrent of life roars, sweeping away the fragile hours. The humor is delightful, the perspective feminist and socially conscious, the language tenderly sharp, the scenes stunning, and the suspense superbly clever. Lire magazine. In this story that explores family ties, mental health, and sisterhood, the popular author proves, once again, that she knows how to hit the right notes.

Un mari, deux enfants, un métier qui lui plaît, c est plus que ce que Diane n osait espérer. Le jour où Seb la quitte, son monde vacille. Absorbée par sa peine, elle ne voit pas que le drame se joue ailleurs. Tout près d elle, dans cette chambre d ado qui fait face à la sienne et où les rires s épuisent. Lou a seize ans, le mal de grandir, et son premier chagrin d amour lui arrache plus que des larmes. Quand Diane comprend, elle est prête à tout pour l aider. Y compris à retourner vers un passé qu elle avait fui. Ensemble, mère et fille marchent sur un fil. Sous leurs pas, le torrent de la vie gronde et emporte avec lui les heures fragiles. Les vannes sont réjouissantes, le regard, féministe et social, le verbe tendrement vachard, les scènes renversantes, et le suspense superbement rusé. Lire magazine.Dans ce récit qui explore les liens familiaux, la santé mentale et la sororité, l écrivaine populaire prouve, une fois encore, qu elle sait gratter là où il faut.

FAQ

Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!

Are the books New?

Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.

What defines the prices of the books?

As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

Do you have a shop?

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
