For fans of Alison Hammer and Caroline Leavitt, Kalyn Fogarty weaves
an emotionally rich tale in her powerfully moving novel Everything's
Still There, exploring postpartum depression, female friendship, and
new motherhood.
Professional party planner turned stay-at-home-mom, Brynn Hallman always
imagined she'd be the ideal mother for her little boy, Cody. But her
plans go awry with a series of medical complications that send her into
a tailspin. Fueled by bad reality TV and a growing obsession with an
Instafamous mommy influencer, Brynn falls deeper into her growing
depression and turns inward, shutting out her pre-baby friends and
pretending to her husband, Kyle, that everything is just fine.
During the early morning hours, Brynn sees a flashing light from her
back porch across the expanse of her yard. Is it a trick of her tired
eyes? For the first time in months, she ventures out of the house to
discover the source of the light. What she finds will draw her into the
life of an eccentric new friend, forcing her to confront her changing
identity and the pressures of motherhood.
Imbued with an emotional resonance that will draw in fans of Ann
Napolitano--but cast in an utterly unique voice--Kalyn Fogarty's
Everything's Still There is sure to take a welcome place in the
literary pantheon.
