<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It is the summer of 1948 when a handsome, charismatic stranger, Charlie Beale, recently back from the war in Europe, shows up in the town of Brownsburg, a sleepy village nestled in the Valley of Virginia. All he has with him are two suitcases: one contains his few possessions, including a fine set of butcher knives; the other is full of money. A lot of money. <i>Heading Out to Wonderful</i> is a haunting, heart-stopping novel of love gone terribly wrong in a place where once upon a time such things could happen.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Doesn't disappoint."--<strong>John Searles, on NBC's Today</strong><br /><br />"Fans of Goolrick's juicy debut novel <i>A Reliable Wife</i>--which spent 32 weeks on <i>USA Today's</i> Best-Selling Books list--can't wait for this follow-up."--<strong>USAToday.com</strong><br /><br />"Deliciously dark and dangerous."--<i><strong>O, The Oprah Magazine</strong></i><br /><br />"Within the heartbreak of this story, there is joy and beauty . . .
