The Guilt We Carry
Samuel W. Gailey
(Author)
Description
Since the tragic accident that brutally ended her childhood, Alice O'Farrell has been haunted by her past. Unable to bear the guilt of negligence that led to the death of her younger brother, fifteen-year-old Alice runs away from home. She lives on the streets, makes one bad decision after another, and drowns her guilt in alcohol.
But, everything changes when she stumbles upon a startling scene: a dead drug dealer and a duffel bag full of ninety-one thousand dollars in cash. Recognizing this as an opportunity for a fresh start, Alice takes the money and runs. However, she soon finds herself fleeing from more than her own past--the dead dealer's drug supplier wants his money back and will destroy her to get it.
A merciless manhunt ensues, headed by Sinclair--a formidable opponent--relentless, shrewd, and brutal. As blood is spilled all around her, Alice is eventually faced with her day of reckoning.
In the end, The Guilt We Carry is a story about redemption and forgiveness--but at what cost?
Perfect for readers of The Girl on the Train and The Woman in the Window

About the Author
Reviews
"[A] gripping tale of redemption . . . Gailey does a superior job of making his flawed lead sympathetic." --Publishers Weekly
"An extraordinary thriller, The Guilt We Carry is driven by a plot that is both economic and subtly complicated. Samuel W. Gailey propels his characters into one another with a tough empathy. The result is a tense, scintillating read that is also human and ultimately satisfying as the book hurtles toward its unexpected but well-earned conclusion." --Bruce Holbert, author of Whiskey
"Fans of country noir will be right at home as Gailey builds the grit-soaked suspense." --Booklist
"Samuel Gailey's The Guilt We Carry is heartbreaking, hopeful, and touching. Gritty, dark, yet tender. Gailey lyrically weaves a story of loss and guilt into one of redemption. Never has misery been so elegantly written." --Matt Coyle, Anthony Award-winning author
"This book is an RCR and a BBE--a Roller Coaster Ride and a Best Book Ever. Relish in the reading of it, take your time even through the breathless parts, and enjoy every word. It's the Breaking Bad of the book world. A delish read with surprises to the very last page." --New York Journal of Books
