We Know Books. Books Are All We Do.

We are pleased to present an afternoon with Susan Denning. Susan's new novel, Far Away Home is a Mom-Pick (take that Oprah) at the Clinton Book Shop and is doing very well at independent book shops across the nation.   About The Book: Escape into a memorable work of historical fiction that will make you believe no matter how many challenges fate sends your way, the human spirit can triumph. It's 1867 in New York City and Aislynn Denehy's closest friend, Tim Nolan, is forced west to find work in a Utah mining camp. Aislynn follows, enduring the treacherous trail only to find life in the raucous Treasure Mountain camp brings small joys and great challenges. She struggles with her own conflicting desires and the intruding intentions of the three men in her life. Aislynn’s story races through authentic experiences until she discovers the value of being true to herself, a lesson that transcends her story and this historical period What people are saying about FAR AWAY HOME: “This book is a great read- it’s GONE WITH THE WIND meets FAR AND AWAY. A realistic story of the American West.” Vanessa Giles Sheehan, Teacher, US History “The FAR AWAY HOME is an engaging, memorable love story. I thoroughly enjoyed it.” Amy Goodman, award winning syndicated journalist, columnist and author "I am writing to you to express my appreciation and admiration for your wonderful novel. As I read your story, I found myself transported back in time to the days of the Westward Expansion, and became part of the story. Your heroine Aislynn captured all the spirit and adventure of her time, and is testimony to the strength and determination of women of today and yesterday fighting for their rightful place in a man's world. Congratulations, I absolutely loved it!!!" Arlene Wall, Library Media Specialist, Fairfield, CT
