"Waiting On" Wednesday: Finding Casey

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:


Finding Casey
By Jo-Ann Mapson
Publication Date: October 2

From Amazon:

Glory Vigil, newly married, unexpectedly pregnant at 41, is nesting in the home she and her husband, Joseph, have just moved to in Santa Fe, a house that unbeknownst to them is rumored to have a resident ghost. Their adopted daughter, Juniper, is home from college for Thanksgiving and in love for the very first time, quickly learning how a relationship changes everything. But Juniper has a tiny arrow lodged in her heart, a leftover shard from the day eight years earlier when her sister, Casey, disappeared—in a time before she’d ever met Glory and Joseph. When a fieldwork course takes Juniper to a pueblo only a few hours away, she finds herself right back in the past she thought she’d finally buried.

You always find the best books, many that I have not come across yet. This looks like a great read.

Rebecca said...

This sounds like it may be good. I'm interested to know if it goes into an actual ghost story.

Kelsey @ Slush Sleuth said...

Super interesting! It's a little unclear from the cover copy whose perspective the story is told from, but all characters sound interesting so maybe it will rotate around.

I sure hope the ghost in the house isn't Juniper's sister! That would be too sad.

Happy Wednesday!

I love your choice for this week, seems like a great and emotional book. (:

Oh, so in the beginning of the summary I thought the book would be about the mother, then it turns out to be about Juniper. I think I could handle that! Thanks for the reveal!

I haven't heard of this book. But it seems interesting. I'm wary though, doesn't seem like my genre. Still a great pick :)

I think this is my favorite choice of yours so far! I love the southwest setting, the unconventional family dynamics and the mystery! I hope it ends up being a good read for you even with all the aspects it has going on.

Have a great rest of the week!!!

I love the sound of this story, but the cover does not do the synopsis justice(so boring).

Interesting..I love stories with ghosts involved. I will be looking for this one. Have a great week Jill!

Alyssa Nelson said...

This sounds like it'd be the best Lifetime movie EVER! Which also makes for good book drama. :) Nice pick!

DT said...

That sounds like a pretty amazing book. Bring 40ish and pregnant sounds scary enough to me without any ghosts!
