Book Synopsis
Sarah Gordon was a ballerina until a car accident took her left leg. She had spent her life focused on the world of professional ballet. Nearly 30 years old, she now must reinvent herself.
Her husband, Joe, blames himself for her accident and wants to ensure nothing bad ever happens to her again--at any cost. To become whole once more, Sarah is forced to decide if independence is worth more than love, and if having one means giving up the other.
Review Quotes
"In Sarah Gordon, George Weinstein has masterfully created a heroine of such amazing courage, wit, and spunk that I found myself totally immersed in her struggle to become her own person following a life-changing accident. Sarah's story belongs to anyone who has ever gone through pain and loss to come out stronger and better. Don't miss this one!"
- Cassandra King, author of The Same Sweet Girls
"George Weinstein's The Caretaker is an intricate, grim-humored study of precarious young love on the verge of collapse. Gracefully layered with artistry, physicality and emotion, this book will compel readers to question the very nature of love and loyalty as they limp with the wounded protagonist through the minefield of her marriage and life without one leg. Deeply hopeful and bitingly painful by turns, The Caretaker will leave the reader cringing, laughing and ultimately, grateful."
- M.J. Pullen, best-selling author of The Marriage Pact, Regrets Only, and Baggage Check
"In this beautifully told story of a dancer whose career in ended by a tragic accident, Weinstein looks way beyond the easy and obvious clichés to the dilemmas of our closest relationships-spinning a moving, tender, and ultimately hopeful tale of a woman seeking to relearn the greatest art of all, the art of love."
- Man Martin, author of Paradise Dogs and Days of the Endless Corvette
"George Weinstein's latest novel is a sympathetic exploration of a carefully constructed life gone awry. The writing is visceral, the problems are real, and there is no clear way forward. These characters break our hearts and mend them all over again, reminding us that it takes courage to establish an authentic place for ourselves in the world."
- Kimberly Brock, author of The River Witch and Georgia Author of the Year 2013
