One of today's most compelling voices in women's fiction, acclaimed novelist Jean Reynolds Page delivers a story of unanticipated familial ties, exploring with compassion and humor the hope, forgiveness, and sometimes just plain tolerance necessary to hold a family together. Safe Within is rich with heart and Southern atmosphere, as a loving wife, facing an almost unbearable impending tragedy, returns with her husband and son to Lowfield, North Carolina--and to a cabin high up in the trees--where she must contend with, and somehow make peace with, an infuriatingly eccentric mother-in-law. Readers touched by this author's earlier work--including the much beloved The Space between Before and After--can rejoice, and fans of Jodi Picoult and Jacquelyn Mitchard will be adding another name to their list of favorites authors.
