After Carly Malloy loses everything—her sister and parents to a devastating car crash and her husband to an ugly divorce—she sets out to begin her life anew on the remote island of Windemere in the Straits of Mackinac. But soon fate whispers a slight of hand as a string of women—all of Caribbean descent—go missing, plummeting Carly into a complex whodunit. A chance encounter will draw her further into the mystery, connecting her with the tragic circumstances of an elite family who, while suffering greatly from a deadly, hereditary disease, she begins to suspect are linked to the disturbing disappearances. Fascinating and transcendent, If I Should Never Wake by award-winning short fiction writer Jeanene Cooper is an engaging combination of intrigue and mystery. A literary novel of compelling conviction, one woman with nothing left to lose must confront sinister forces amid a succession of ill-fated events as she searches for some attainable way to do what is right.
