The Tears We Never Cried
by Ryshia Kennie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Women's Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A mother’s tragic diagnosis.
A daughter’s life on hold.
An ending and a new beginning…
Cassandra
McDowall’s mother has been forgetful for a while, but she never anticipated
rapid-onset Alzheimer’s to come out of nowhere and shake their world to its
very core.
As
Cassie puts her already-lackluster life on hold, her mom’s indomitable will and
spirit of adventure prove to be a handful.
And
as her mother fades, the two embark on one last adventure—a journey that
reveals secrets on the brink of being lost, the joy of foreign sunsets, and
love where she hadn’t thought it possible.

EXCERPT ONE:
“The
car is stolen!”
Mother’s
voice sliced through the swirls of sleep.
I
leapt out of bed, glanced at the clock and tripped over the unfamiliar flannel
sheet. On the wall was a poster of a rock band I’d loved at fifteen. I was back
in the room of my childhood.
I’d
brought Mother home to live with me for that first night after the Christmas
card debacle. One night was about all either of us could tolerate. My apartment
was too small. It had taken me only a few days to get my stuff together, notify
my landlord and move in with Mother.
“Hang
on, Mom.” I fought to catch my breath as I reached for my housecoat.
“Cassie!”
Her voice cracked across the layer of frost that collected on the window frame
overnight and slammed through the partially open window. I have a penchant for
fresh air. Sleeping with a window open even in the midst of winter is normal
for me, and made it easy to hear Mother’s shriek outside as it erupted a second
time loud enough to roust the neighbors. Her screech had me excited but not
panicked. Not until my conscious and my unconscious married those two thoughts
together—outside and Mother.

AUTHOR BIO:
The
winner of her city’s writing award, Ryshia Kennie’s novels
have taken her characters from the depression era prairies in her first book
“From the Dust” to a across the globe and back again. There’s never a lack of
places to set a story as the too long prairie winters occasionally find her
with travel journal in hand seeking adventure on foreign shores. While facing off a Monitor Lizard before
breakfast or running through the Kasbah chased by an enraged Water Carrier
aren’t normal travel experiences and might never find a place in one of her
stories, they do make great travel stories.
When not collecting odd memories from around the world, she’s writing
mainly romantic suspense and women’s fiction.
