This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Carriage House
Publication Date: March 5
From Amazon:
After suffering a stroke, patriarch William Adair wakes up in his hospital bed and realizes that his family has changed: they are less extraordinary than he had remembered. For more than 30 years, his faith in life was grounded on two indisputable principles: his three daughters’ exceptional beauty and talents and the historical resonance of a carriage house built by his grandfather. Now, both have begun to collapse.
The carriage house, held captive by a neighbor since a zoning error classified it as her property, has decayed beyond recognition and risks being condemned. William’s daughters—all tennis champions in their youth—are in decline. Having lost their father’s pride, the three sisters struggle to define themselves.
William’s ailing wife is suffering from dementia. As she forgets her daughters, they forget themselves.
To help him recover, William’s daughters take on the battle for the carriage house that once stood as a symbol of their place in the world. Overcoming misunderstandings, betrayals, and wrong turns deep in the past, each of the Adairs ultimately finds a new place of forgiveness and love.

This sounds like a great read!
Dementia is such a horrible disease to live with. I can't even imagine what the families go through. This sounds like such a sad book. Hope it has its high moments though.

I hadn't heard of this before so thank you for spotlighting it! ^.^ If you would like to check out my Waiting On Wednesday you can do so here. :)
Very interesting pick. The Carriage House sounds quite intriguing.
This book sounds heart-wrenching, but like a great read! Thanks for sharing!
Messed up on my first link btw, sorry about that. Not sure if it can be removed somehow. =/
Wow. This sounds incredibly tragic, and powerful. Not if I could read it (it'd make me too sad) but I hope you enjoy it!

Michael @ The Bookshelf Review
This sounds like a riveting family drama. I like the fact that there aren't any 'deep, dark secrets' mentioned in the summary (though I'm sure there are some). Somehow the mention always turns me off.
This sounds like an emotional read. Dementia in a mate would be so heartbreaking. Great pick Jill. :)
Wow, this sounds like a really compelling, tragic story! Nice pick! :)

I haven't heard of this book, but the concept sounds interesting. I'd hate it if I woke up one day and part of my memory was gone.
This one sounds really good!

The Carriage House sounds really good. I can't imagine being 'away' for thirty years and then regaining consciousness, let alone waking up to find that your loved ones and your home aren't doing well.
It took me a little while to figure out the cover, but I finally did. The book sounds great!
Sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting pick! Dementia can be so hard on a family.
Sounds like an amazing book. I love carriage houses, and I love books that sort of follow the decay of architecture...
