7:30 PM – Randy Sue Coburn: A Better View of Paradise
Elliott Bay Book Co.
A predictable, yet improbable, novel of father-daughter reconciliation, featuring the usual suspects: a successful, urban, 30-something female; her abrasive, dying father; their difficult relationship; the sage family-member/friend-of-the-family whose timely advice gives the protagonist much needed perspective; and a secret baby. Okay, maybe not a baby, but a secret someone. If this were a genre romance novel, it would totally be a secret baby.
