Where We Fall: A Novel

by Rochelle B. Weinstein

Overview

By all accounts, Abby Holden has it all. She’s the mother of a beautiful teenager and the wife of a beloved high school football coach. And all it took to achieve her charmed life was her greatest act of betrayal.

Coach Ryan can coax his team to victory, but he can’t seem to make his wife, Abby, happy. Her struggles with depression have marred their marriage and taken a toll on their daughter, Juliana. Although this isn’t the life he’s dreamed of, he’s determined to heal the rifts in his family.

Chasing waterfalls and documenting their beauty has led photographer Lauren Sheppard all around the world. Now it has brought her back home to the mountains of North Carolina—back to the scene of her devastating heartbreak.

For the first time in seventeen years, a trio of once-inseparable friends find themselves confronting past loves, hurts, and the rapid rush of a current that still pulls them together…

Editorial Reviews

Praise for Where We Fall

“Weinstein has given us a wonderful tale of life and its distractions. She gives us characters that are flawed and yet lovable…You will find yourself affected to the very core by the depth of her work.” —Blog Critics

“Beautiful and poetic…If you’re a sucker for true love, with all its ups and downs, then you’ll enjoy this novel.” —Collected Works

Praise for What We Leave Behind

“Compelling…What We Leave Behind’s twists and turns generate real tension, and Weinstein renders Jessica’s feelings with enough complexity that her ultimate decision carries emotional weight.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Each word of What We Leave Behind invokes raw emotion as we are brought deeper into the soul of a woman that can be any of us. This moving story will echo strongly with any woman who has had to face love and loss, life and death, and everything in between.” —Long Island Woman

Praise for The Mourning After

“A heart-wrenching tale of loss, loyalty, and the will to overcome…Weinstein explores the difficult facets of grief that are often too painful to recognize, the solipsism of mourning, the selfishness of regret, and the guilt of moving on…Ultimately, this novel full of mourning has a large, aching heart full of sympathy and potential, and will keep the reader listening for signs of restored life.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Weinstein hooked me with her first novel, and The Mourning After has made me a fan for life. She has that rare ability to hook you from chapter one, keep you turning the pages, and then continue to think about the characters long after you have put the book down. It takes an exceptionally talented writer to weave a real but little-known disease like GSD into a novel, and yet use it in a way that only advances the story and enhances her characters.” —James Grippando, New York Times bestselling author
