About the Author
Susan S. Kelly lives in Greensboro, North Carolina.
From Publishers Weekly
Skillfully pinpointing the circumstances that tempt Hannah Marsh into an affair with her childhood friend's husband, Kelly (How Close We Come) showcases her perceptive understanding of the delicate fabric of human relationships. Hannah and her husband, Hal, have recently moved to the small town of Rural Ridge, N. C., to give their two children a taste of country life. Hal has taken a teaching position at a private school and Hannah is looking forward to concentrating on her gardening; their marriage is settled and comfortable. Imagine Hannah's surprise when she meets Peter Whicker, an attractive man who turns out not only to be the town's newest member of the clergy, but also the spouse of her childhood best friend and current nemesis, Daintry O'Connor. As Hannah looks into her past, reflecting on her friendship with Daintry, Kelly adroitly moves the narrative forward, sizing each woman up against her younger self. The fascinating transformation of Daintry from a youthful, bold instigator and confidant to a sophisticated charmer with scathing wit and a sarcastic bent underscores the complexity of their friendship. As the attraction between Peter and Hannah blossoms, it becomes plain that the enviable qualities of a long-standing marriage reliability, comfort, mutual understanding and trust may undermine it as well. In determining the course of her future, Hannah is forced to examine her past with Daintry and the impact their long and complicated relationship continues to have on her life. By examining the push/pull of friendship and the intricacies of family, this rather simple tale acquires additional layers of meaning and relevance.

Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter green cloth with blue lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Susan S Kelly's award-winning debut novel, "How Close We Come," told a deeply affecting story of two best friends, and of what happened when their seemingly unbreakable bond was threatened. Here, she reveals a different aspect of women's friendships. In this tale, a close friendship gone wrong years earlier still has the power to make a woman question herself and her life. When her husband, Hal, accepts a teaching position at a private school in the tiny North Carolina town of Rural Ridge, Hannah Marsh views her family's move as a chance to return to a simpler, sweeter way of living. Contentedly married for seventeen years and the mother of two children, she nevertheless has a nagging sense that something is absent from her life. Then, at a casual neighborhood dinner, Hannah encounters someone she thought she'd never see again: Daintry O'Connor, a ghost from her childhood. Condition: Fine in like jacket.
