Description
Shreve’s Promise was the winner of the 2003 Tom Fitzgibbon Award.
“Why are you bugging me?” Shreve whispered.
“She’s crying,” said Melissa. “She’s in the garage. She can’t get in her car, and she’s crying.”
“It’s just a car.”
“It’s how she remembers me and Dad […] She thinks of us in the car. It’s her safe place.”
It’s bad enough that Shreve’s Mum has left to go and live in a commune, and that her Dad appears to be very taken with the housekeeper… now she has this strange apparition to contend with who calls herself Melissa and who is asking Shreve to help her mother, Zelda.
But in promising to help, Shreve finds herself caught up in the family’s tragedy… and threatened by Zelda’s son.
Soft cover, 127 pages. In excellent preloved condition.
