Book Synopsis

"Leila Meacham is a gift to readers everywhere."--Adriana Trigiani

A seemingly perfect suburban housewife is being pursued by a private detective . . . and hunted by a murderer in this riveting, much-anticipated posthumous novel from the beloved author of Roses and Dragonfly.

Kathryn Walker enjoys an enviable life. Her husband is an accomplished doctor, her children are bright and successful, and she devotes herself to charity work that uplifts her Suburban Colorado community. Settling into a new year, her life couldn't be better. . .

Until April.

For Kathryn, April has always rained trouble--but this time may be even stormier than the fraught past she's trying to overcome. Already distraught over the child she miscarried in this same cursed month many years ago, the emotionally fragile woman isn't ready to consider the overwhelming evidence that someone may be trying to take her husband--and her life.

Featuring the complex characters and powerful storytelling that are the beloved hallmarks of Leila Meacham's novels beginning with her breakout debut Roses, April Storm is a page-turning triumph that caps a remarkable literary career.
