The Lake of Dreams

Northlake-Barbara Loer Library
3772 LaVista Road
Tucker, GA  30084

Join Blue Elephant and the Georgia Center for the Book at the Northlake-Barbara Loer Library as New York Times-bestselling novelist Kim Edwards, author of The Memory Keeper's Daughter, discusses and signs her newest novel, The Lake of Dreams.

The Book

Imbued with all the lyricism, compassion, and suspense of her bestselling novel The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edward's The Lake of Dreams is a powerful family drama and an unforgettable story of love lost and found.

Lucy Jarrett is at a crossroads in her life, still haunted by her father's unresolved death a decade earlier. She returns to her hometown, The Lake of Dreams, and, late one night, she cracks the lock of a window seat and discovers a collection of objects. They appear to be idle curiosities, but soon Lucy realizes that she has stumbled across a dark secret from her family's past, one that will radically change her-and the future of her family-forever.
