Synopsis

It's been years since Skye Elliot has seen her biological father. He left when she was twelve, breaking her heart, and her life has not exactly been going uphill since. A drug user and alcoholic, Skye is given a choice after a car accident: jail or rehab. It takes eight months to get clean, but the day Skye is released, she has one plan: to be a good mother to her four-year-old daughter, Gracie. But first she has to find her. As she sets out on her unsettling, life-changing quest, she is joined by the last person in the world she ever expected to help her. `If you haven't discovered Jo-Ann Mapson yet, you're in for the finest of treats - her books will move you from out-loud laughter to bittersweet tears.' - Jodi Picoult

Media Reviews
This tale of love, family and broken hearts will leave you feeling uplifted * Bella Books *
Finding Casey is so many things: a love letter to the American Southwest, an unstoppable read, a redemptive tale that proves the threads binding a family are unbreakable, no matter how far apart we are flung by fate. This is why Jo-Ann Mapson is one of my favorite authors - quite simply, she's an archivist of the human heart * Jodi Picoult *
This sequel to bestseller Solomon's Oak contains passages of great beauty and psychological insight and, in the sections concerning Laurel, genuine suspense * Daily Mail *
Mapson [shows us] the world as we hope it is - a world in which flawed people can be basically healthy, and even pain has a richness to it . . . One of the most gifted writers of the contemporary [American] West * Los Angeles Times *
Mapson creates characters so real you could recognize them coming down the road * Chicago Tribune *
Dazzlingly written, indelibly moving, and deeply profound, Solomon's Oak is filled with grace, heart, and wisdom, and a rich cast of real characters . . . Truly a gem * Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You *
