Shorecliff: A Novel
PRAISE FORSHORECLIFF:"Divine. . . . A delicious summer read. . . . Shorecliffgives readers a vivid picture of what happens when a sprawling family spends time in close quarters. Although set nearly a century ago on a picturesque Maine estate, DeYoung's novel is immediate and familiar, and her character development is nothing short of brilliant."—Elin Hilderbrand, author ofBeautiful Day"I was swept away from the very first page, captivated by the Hatfields as they teeter between beauty and loss of innocence in one dreamlike summer. DeYoung's writing glitters with clarity, confidence, and depth, all the way to the book's stunning ending. A debut of a wonderful new literary voice."—Rae Meadows, author ofMercy Train"This exceptional novel is reminiscent of the grand family classics of the nineteenth century. DeYoung manages a large cast--every one of them vital and unique--with deft timing. And with exquisite skill, she reveals calamitous events, enticing the reader with tidbits about what is to come. I look forward to future novels from this gifted author."—Anna Jean Mayhew, author ofThe Dry Grass of August"DeYoung's vivid evocation of a summer home in  Maine along with the enthralling, flawed members of the extended Hatfield clan held me captive from the very first page to the electrifying conclusion.Shorecliffreads like the work of a seasoned veteran of the form, not a debut novelist."—Meg Mitchell Moore, author ofSo Far Away
