Release Date: June 16, 2022

About The Book:

For all her adult life, Roxy suppressed the impact of two traumatic events—being abandoned by her mother at the age of twelve and being raped by her boyfriend, Spider, at eighteen. She never told anyone but her best friend about the rape. Though happily married to Carl, they both long to be out from under the thumb of Carl’s domineering father, for whom they both work. And she’s convinced that her first play—being staged at the community theater with her movie-star friend from high school in the lead role—is the ticket to that better life.

But now Spider is back, a successful land developer with a proposal to revitalize the town and solve the theater’s financial woes. When he takes an interest in Jewel, Roxy’s eldest daughter whose paternity she’s not entirely sure of, and engineers a big win for Carl in a private poker game, Roxy knows he’s up to his old tricks. She’s determined to expose him before he can harm her family or her beloved theater.

About The Author:

Karen E. Osborne is the author of the novels Tangled Lies,Getting It Right, and Reckonings (June 2022). As a kid in the Bronx, Karen kept friends enthralled with stories of adventures she pretended to have experienced. Marriage, children, and a wonderful career, first as an academic administrator and then co-owner of The Osborne Group consulting and training firm, sidelined her ambition to be a writer until one day Kara, the protagonist in her first novel, began speaking to Karen. That first novel, Getting It Right, was selected by Essence as “One of Summer’s Best Reads.” A native New Yorker, Karen now lives in Port Saint Lucie, FL with her husband Bob. They have two grown children and three grandsons. https://www.kareneosborne.com/

Book Blurbs:

“This story packs a powerful punch about the #MeToo movement and women fighting back against their attackers. At its core, Reckonings is about the courage to speak up, reveal the truth, and in doing so, find deeper, more enduring peace and love.”
