Join us in welcoming Chris Paynter with her new book Survived by Her Longtime Companion.
About the book:
"Hired to work on a biography of the late film star, Daphne DeMonet,
Bailey Hampton arrives to conduct an interview with Eleanor Burnett,
Daphne’s "longtime companion." To Bailey’s dismay, she learns Eleanor
has set up a co-interview with Bailey’s ex-partner, Chelsea Parker.
Estranged
for eleven months, the two women hide their painful memories and strain
to be civil to one another. Eleanor startles them by insisting that
they take turns reading aloud from Eleanor’s diaries of her life with
Daphne DeMonet. Only after the diaries are read in her presence will
Eleanor proceed with a full interview.
Once Eleanor discovers
that Bailey and Chelsea are ex-partners, the diary readings take on a
new meaning for her. Can they learn from the mistakes she and Daphne
made as young lovers? Will that knowledge bring Bailey and Chelsea
together again? Or is it too late to mend their broken relationship?"
