Description
On the outside forty-year-old Jules Kanter seems to have the perfect
life--a beautiful daughter, a loving husband, and a successful career as
the arts and entertainment editor for an award-winning newspaper. But,
Jules also has well-hidden secrets.
While plagued with guilt over
a same-sex affair and the fear of hurting everyone she loves, Jules
pours her emotions into her writing. But, she never imagined her words
would be discovered when she wasn't there to explain them. After
discovering the truth can those she loved move on, or will they always
wonder who she really was?
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
Readers who choose On Burning Mirrors for its insights into same-sex
relationships and marital struggles will find it a powerful
emotionally-driven exploration of love, friendship, closely-held
memories and unexpected futures. The novel is particularly recommended
reading not just for fans of gay fiction; but for those outside the
genre who can anticipate an emotional story of the processes of coming
together, moving apart, and forging new connections.

Wow is all I can say about this book. It pulled me in from the opening chapter and I couldn't put it down! Without spoiling much, this is both a set of love stories but also about figuring out who you are with and without the one you love. It's bittersweet, tragic, and even difficult at times, but I can honestly say I haven't read a story quite like it before. That said, it did drag a bit towards the very end and I was put off by a particular event I could see coming a mile away yet hoped the author wouldn't go "there" because of how discordant it would be to the characters. However, I still have never read a book with this subject tackled so eloquently before, so it was a worthwhile read for me and highly recommended!

I received a free copy from Net Galley in exchange for my review. I started this book late one afternoon and finished it early the next morning, so it's a quick read. I loved the character development and the strong emotional content of this book. It brought me to tears! While being straight myself, I now have a better understanding of the struggles gay people suffer because of our society and it's views of sexuality. It's a must read for anyone who loves a true love story.
