The Women of Donnybrooke: Jane Promised Not to Tell Avrie Kaufman 1.º edición

This is not a narrative of a young woman who triumphs over the atrocities of her past to finally reach the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. This is the story of Jane. While growing up on a picturesque farm near the small, quaint town of Donnybrooke, life should have been magical. Not so for Jane Kirkland. Along with cherished memories and white daisies, Jane also gathered a treasure-trove of sordid secrets. Secrets that she can never tell. Determined to break free from her traumatic childhood, Jane focuses on the freedom of college and leaving her dark, troubled past behind. Then it happens. Jane finds herself falling for her classmate, Todd, and dares to dream about their future together. When the school year ends, spirited, charismatic Jane ends up back at home for the summer, resolving that she will do whatever it takes to survive until she leaves again in the fall. But even the best laid plans can go amiss. Will the phantoms of her past ruin the new love that she has found or further complicate matters with her hometown flame, Elliot, who refuses to let go? Caught up in her own misadventures, Jane soon discovers that loving two men is never easy, especially when neither one knows the truth. Written from both the male and the female perspective with Jane as the central character and bound together by threads of dark humour, this is a twisting tale of intertwined love, lies and deception. Contains explicit sex and coarse language.
