Sometimes the only way through darkness is to return to where
it began.
Marianne Stokes fled England at seventeen, spiraling into
the manic depression that would become her shadow. She left behind secrets,
memories, and tragedy: one teen dead, and her first love, Gabriel, badly
injured. Three decades later she’s finally found peace in the North Carolina
recording studio she runs with her husband, Darius, and her almost-daughter,
Jade…until another fatality propels her back across the ocean to confront the
long-buried past.
In her picturesque childhood village, the first person she
meets is the last person she wants to see again: Gabriel. Now the village
vicar, he takes her in without question, and ripples of what if reverberate
through both their hearts. As Marianne’s mind unravels, Jade and Darius track
her down. Tempers clash when everyone tries to help, but only by finding the
courage to face her illness can Marianne heal herself and her offbeat family.

Praise for Echoes of Family:
“Claypole White’s gift is her ability to put us into the
troubled minds of her characters in a way that helps us not only understand
them but fall in love with them as well. We discover that while their minds may
be different from ours, their hearts are the same.” —Diane
Chamberlain, USA Todaybestselling author of Pretending to
Dance
“Echoes of Family is a masterfully written novel
that is both difficult to put down, and difficult to forget after the final
page. In this powerful novel, Claypole White weaves that narrative that draws
the reader into a personal relationship with the characters and has you rooting
for them, in spite of their many flaws. This book kept my attention until all
secrets were revealed in its dramatic conclusion. I look forward to many more
from Claypole White.” —Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The
Things We Keep
“Barbara Claypole White has done it again—created a quirky
cast of characters and then taken us along as they go on a journey through
madness and out the other side. Music, England, love, loss, and nature all
collide in this beautiful exploration of how the echoes of our past can
sometimes drown out the present. Matthew Quick fans will feel right at
home.” —Catherine McKenzie, bestselling author of Spin and Hidden
