Dark Enough to See the Stars

Escape into a story of secrets revealed in the long-awaited sequel to bestseller and book club favorite IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU.

In 1946, everybody loved Homecoming Queen Violet Glenn, including her boyfriend's best friend, Sam Davidson. Readers who enjoyed the first book will find themselves happily back in 1940s Anniston, Alabama with Sam.

And Sam's family has some pretty big secrets of their own.

Newly registered nurse Ronni Johnson, who wrote a book about Violet that changed her life, is back working at Fairfield Springs. When she receives a mysterious email from Chet Wilson's son asking her to tell "the truth" about his dad, Ronni has no interest in pursuing it. Chet and Violet's love story has already been told. Besides, she doesn't have another book in her.

Soon, though, the stars align perfectly to launch Ronni back into learning about Violet and Sam's history, with revelation after revelation . . . and once again, Violet is reaching back through the years to touch Ronni's life.

Alternating chapters between Sam's world in the distant past and Ronni's in the present, DARK ENOUGH TO SEE THE STARS is a story of human resilience and fragility; of joy and sorrow; of our ability to find family in one another. Duke's trademark humor and Southern charm make this a must-read for fans of Sue Monk Kidd, Anne Rivers Siddons, Rebecca Wells, and Fannie Flagg. If you loved IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU, you're sure to enjoy DARK ENOUGH TO SEE THE STARS.
