{"product_id":"9780547848020","title":"Carry Yourself Back to Me","description":"\"A beautifully written, thoroughly engaging novel. Deborah Reed's prose is lyrical, elegant, and vivid-she is a standout among new American novelists.\"-Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties and Drinking Closer to Home\u003cp\u003eFamed alt-country artist Annie Walsh has more than enough reason to sing her version of the blues, including a broken heart, a stalled career, and a troubled family. Annie seeks refuge from an upended love affair with her producer, Owen Pettybone, by sequestering herself at home with her old dog Detour, surrounded by a lush Florida tangelo grove. Soon, however, this quiet, small-town existence-far from recording studios, ardent fans, and affairs of the heart-comes crashing down around her. A violent murder connected to her brother Calder threatens to tear her family apart and forces Annie to shore up her loyalties and uproot profound disappointments from her distant past. Like a fine and forlorn love ballad, the gifted, conflicted Annie lulls the reader into a journey through love and loss that mines the mysterious, and, at times, paradoxical rhythms of the human heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Deborah Reed has written here a novel peopled with real, flesh-and-bone characters-men and women both as good and delightfully flawed as our best friends, our spouses, ourselves. And the icing on this cake is Reed's lucid, lovely prose.\"-Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum, author of This Life She's Chosen and Swimming with Strangers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeborah Reed comes from a long line of storytellers and musicians and finds creative inspiration in the composition of alt-country, folk, and homespun goods. She currently resides in the Pacific Northwest, where she also writes suspense fiction under the name of Audrey Braun.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014926123248,"sku":"9780547848020","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780547848020_p0.jpg?v=1763716849","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780547848020","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
