Waiting on Wednesday: The Shadows We Know By Heart by Jennifer Park

The Shadows We Know By Heart by Jennifer Park
(Website, Twitter, Goodreads)Published by Simon & Schuster Genres: Death & Dying, Fantasy, Young Adult

Leah Roberts’s life has never been the same since her brother died ten years ago. Her mother won’t stop drinking, her father can’t let go of his bitter anger, and Leah herself has a secret she’s told no one: Sasquatch are real, and she’s been watching a trio of them in the woods behind her house for years.

Everything changes when Leah discovers that among the Sasquatch lives a teenager. This alluring, enigmatic boy has no memory of his past and can barely speak, but Leah can’t shake his magnetic pull. Gradually, Leah’s life entwines with his, providing her the escape from reality she never knew she needed.

But when Leah’s two worlds suddenly collide in a deadly showdown, she uncovers a shocking truth as big and extraordinary as the legends themselves, one that could change her life forever.

From debut author Jennifer Park comes a haunting and luminous exploration of love, grief, and the dangerous lies that can bind—or break—us.

I am so intrigued by the summary of this book – I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

So…What are you waiting for this week?

About Jennifer Park

I've been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. It's just something that has always been a part of me, something I've always done without thought. For the first fifteen years of my life it was nothing but horses and maybe a few smiley faces...but then I went to Hawaii and discovered the work of Wyland and Lassen and the amazing worlds they had created. Lassen's father sold us a painting, and it's pretty obvious where I went from there, although the occasional equine subject does appear from time to time.
In 2011, I was inducted into the Ocean Artist Society (OAS), joining the ranks of ocean advocates such as Wyland, Bob Talbot, James Cameron, and Dr. Sylvia Earle, who strive to protect and preserve the beautiful and mysterious world beneath the ocean's surface.
While art has always been a love, writing is new, and up until a few years ago, you couldn't force a paragraph from me. Three books later, and honestly, I'm still not sure where the words are coming from. I am grateful for this gift, and I'm lucky to have found two creative outlets that I am equally passionate about.
