New Releases by Wendy Walker

From USA Today bestselling author--and former competitive skater--Wendy Walker comes a chilling psychological thriller set in the cutthroat world of elite figure skating. Ana Robbins was an Olympic star in the making--until tragedy forced her to leave that world behind. At the age of sixteen, she gave up her dream and never looked back. Fourteen years later, she's a successful defense attorney, revered for her work with minors. But when her former coach turns up dead, Ana lands right back where it all began, and abruptly ended: The Palace, a world-renowned skating facility nestled high in the mountains of Colorado. Ana returns to The Palace to defend the young skater accused of the brutal crime--Grace Montgomery. Despite her claims of innocence, all evidence points squarely at Grace's guilt, and she's days away from facing charges of first-degree murder. But Ana's investigation dredges up childhood memories of her own, triggering the fear that permeates this place where she once lived and trained far from home as an "orphan." With a blizzard raging outside, and time running out for Grace, Ana is determined to uncover the truth--even if it means exposing her own secrets that she buried here long ago.

But what really happened to Molly Clarke? From the bestselling author of All Is Not Forgotten comes a compelling and emotionally powerful story of a daughter's desperate search to find her mother before it's too late. They called it a “walk away.” The car abandoned miles from home. The note found at a nearby hotel. The shattered family. It happens all the time. Women disappear, desperate to start over. But what really happened to Molly Clarke? The night Molly disappeared began with a storm, running out of gas, and a man offering her a ride to safety. But when the doors lock shut, Molly begins to suspect she has made a terrible mistake. A new lead brings Molly’s daughter, Nicole, back to the small, desolate town where her mother was last seen to renew the desperate search. The locals are sympathetic and eager to help. The innkeeper. The bartender. Even the police. Until secrets begin to reveal themselves and Nicole comes closer to the truth about that night—and the danger surrounding her.

Para la doctora Abby Winter, psicóloga forense, nada de lo que cuenta tiene sentido. Como experta en trastornos narcisistas de la personalidad, investiga a fondo a la familia de Cass: la madre resulta perturbadora, el padrastro y el hermanastro son problemáticos, incluso la propia Cass no es lo que parece… Y mientras se investiga para encontrar el paradero de Emma, lo que sale a la luz va más allá de lo que cabía esperar.

Due sorelle scomparse. Una sola torna a casa, raccontando una verità sconcertante… «Una trama complessa e affascinante che si insinua nella mente dei lettori. » The New York Times Quella sera, in casa scoppia una lite furiosa. Dopo le urla e i pianti, si avverte il rombo di un motore, poi il silenzio. La mattina seguente, le sorelle Tanner sono scomparse. L’auto della diciassettenne Emma viene ritrovata nei pressi della spiaggia: all’interno, solo la borsa e le scarpe della ragazza. Della quindicenne Cassandra, invece, nessuna traccia. Senza ulteriori indizi, le autorità vagliano tutte le ipotesi, per poi congelare il caso. Tre anni dopo, Cassandra torna a casa… da sola. Racconta che lei ed Emma sono state rapite e tenute prigioniere su una misteriosa isola del Maine, senza telefono, televisione o elettricità. La sua versione dei fatti, però, è piena di buchi; in particolare, il racconto del giorno della scomparsa non coincide con le deposizioni raccolte dai detective. Sembrerebbe che la memoria della ragazza sia ancora compromessa dal trauma eppure, per la psicologa forense Abby Winter, i conti non tornano. È successo qualcosa quella notte di tre anni prima, qualcosa che la famiglia Tanner sta tentando disperatamente di nascondere. In cerca di risposte, la dottoressa rivolge quindi lo sguardo verso la madre, il patrigno e il fratellastro di Cassandra. A poco a poco, nel quadro apparentemente perfetto di quella famiglia come tante, Abby intuisce inquietanti crepe e indizi che conducono lungo una strada costellata di menzogne, inganni e tradimenti. Una strada che Abby sarà costretta a percorrere, se vuole salvare Emma… Dopo Non tutto si dimentica – romanzo d'esordio tradotto in oltre 20 Paesi –, Wendy Walker ci riporta tra le ombre più oscure dei rapporti familiari, con una storia che coniuga magistralmente suspense, introspezione psicologica e perturbanti colpi di scena.

"An assured, powerful novel that blends suspense and rich family drama...it is, in a word, unforgettable." --William Landay, author of DEFENDING JACOB Wendy Walker's All Is Not Forgotten begins in the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, where everything seems picture perfect. Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother, Charlotte, struggles to pretend this horrific event did not touch her carefully constructed world.

Step into picture-perfect Wilshire, home to some of the most privileged people in the world, where one woman’s desperate act could bring the precariously balanced social order crashing down… Wilshire, Connecticut, the gilded enclave of Manhattan’s prosperous elite, appears to be a vision of suburban tranquility: the mansions are tastefully designed, the lawns are expertly manicured, and the streets are as hushed as the complexities in the residents’ lives. While Wilshire's husbands battle each other in the financial world, their wives manage their estates and raise the next elite generation. Some women are envied, some respected, and others simply tolerated. But regardless of where they stand, each woman is defined by the world she inhabits and bound by the unyielding social structure that surrounds her. Rosalyn Barlow, the most envied woman in Wilshire, is waging a battle of social manipulation to silence the scandalous gossip that threatens her daughter's reputation while her self-made billionaire husband grows more and more distant in his young retirement. But for fourteen year-old Caitlin Barlow, navigating life as a teenager in a culture of wealth and sexual promiscuity has become far more perilous than either of her parents knows. Newcomer Sarah Livingston has nothing but disdain for everyone and everything around her and a growing terror at having another child in a world she's come to resent. As she is pulled into the Barlow family's storm, the walls begin to close in around her marriage and the life she once thought she wanted. And for Jacqueline Halstead, who's just discovered her husband is under investigation for fraud surrounding his hedge fund, saving her family from total ruin means doing the unthinkable - and shaking the Barlow family, Wilshire's insular community, and herself to the core.

Those who wish to avoid the costs of educational reform often point to Asian Americans as evidence that minorities can succeed without special program support. But as Wendy Walker-Moffat shows, the story of Asian American success deflects attention from the very real problems faced by new Asian immigrant groups. In this book, Walker-Moffat reveals the bitter contrast between the educational experiences of new Asian immigrant groups and the Asian American success myth. Using the case of the Hmong, a Southeast Asian refugee group that settled across the United States, the author shows how ill-prepared school systems are to educate newcomers.
