A compelling novel about a young woman's struggle to remain true to
her heart while navigating through the heady atmosphere of 1980s Los
Angeles, from the bestselling author of Maneater.
It was the year she fell in love...
Fresh out of college, hungry for a shot in the entertainment industry,
Amanda McHenry takes a gig as a secretary in the L.A. offices of a
sleazy television talk show. Saddled with looking after her drug-dealing
brother, Amanda is intent on making good things happen while her
boyfriend finishes his law degree. She has no intention of cheating on
him--James is clear across the country at Harvard--until she falls for
Gabe, her brother's passionate friend.
She had no idea her world would come apart.
Swept up in a whirlwind romance, Amanda realizes that she must choose
between following her heart and clinging to the familiar, and when her
brother's "career" threatens to destroy everything she holds dear, that
choice becomes a matter of life and death. But then fate intervenes to
tear Gabe and Amanda apart and years begin to pass. All the while Amanda
never gives up hope that someday Gabe will return to rescue her.
Acclaimed screenwriter Gigi Levangie Grazer's stirring love story is set
against the indelible backdrop of Los Angeles in the 1980s and captures
its lyrical beauty and stark realism. Hilarious and devastating, Rescue
Me is a uniquely suspenseful novel about the price of happiness...and
the rewards of love.
