Description
"Until I Come Back for You" by P.A. White is a gripping debut novel that blends elements of autobiography and fiction to tell the coming-of-age story of Trisha, a young girl growing up in rural Michigan during the 1970s. Through a series of poignant and often harrowing childhood experiences, Trisha navigates complex family dynamics, moral dilemmas, and the harsh realities of farm life. Central to the narrative is the mysterious death of Ronnie Clark, a local man whose disappearance and subsequent discovery profoundly impact Trisha and her sister Katie Catherine. As Trisha grapples with fear, guilt, and the quest for identity, she learns about resilience, loyalty, and the consequences of her actions. This evocative tale captures the essence of small-town life and the enduring bonds of family, making it a compelling read for those who appreciate authentic and emotionally resonant storytelling.
A Note From the Publisher
Trisha is a typical eight-year-old girl. The youngest of five, she has a pony, a best friend, sticky fingers, and a big secret. After she does her homework and chores, she sneaks off to visit a dead body in the woods.
Right where she left it.
UNTIL I COME BACK FOR YOU invites you to wallow in the comforting nostalgia of the 1970s, a simpler time when there were only three TV channels, two colas, and one phone in the house. Smell the honeysuckle of lazy summer days; listen to sisters sharing whispers in bunk beds before drifting to sleep. Just when you get comfortable, you'll find yourself stranded in a tree, dragged across a field, held down on a cold examination table. Taste the blood in your mouth from a lost tooth. Feel the breath of a predator on your neck. Hear the death rattle of a lost soul.
Follow one family's history woven into the tattered fabric of the Midwest and witness one girl tear at the seams of girlhood, suspended between the generations of women who reinvented womanhood.
