"A dazzling mosaic of intersecting lives and fates... Comparisons to John Irving and Tennessee Williams would not be amiss in this show-stopping debut" (
Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
The national bestseller and
Today Show Book Club selection,
Broken for You is the story of two women in self-imposed exile whose lives are transformed when their paths intersect...
When we meet septuagenarian Margaret Hughes, she is living alone in a mansion in Seattle with only a massive collection of valuable antiques for company. Enter Wanda Schultz, a young woman with a broken heart who has come west to search for her wayward boyfriend. Both women are guarding dark secrets and have spent many years building up protective armor against the outside world. As their tentative friendship evolves, the armor begins to fall away and Margaret opens her house to the younger woman. This launches a series of unanticipated events, leading Margaret to discover a way to redeem her cursed past, and Wanda to learn the true purpose of her cross-country journey.
"I absolutely fell in love with this book.... There is a message here about creating family in the most unusual places.... A wonderful, engaging story." -Sue Monk Kidd,
New York Times-bestselling author of
The Secret Life of Bees
"Well-crafted plotting and crackling wit make this debut novel by Seattle author Kallos a delight to read and a memory to savor... Book groups will enjoy discussing the layers of meaning, the stylistic nuances, and the powerful message of hope secreted in these pages." -
