As Alison struggles in her current relationship with her longtime boyfriend, Jude's death has triggered old emotions long buried within Alison. When she travels to her hometown of Harmony, Nebraska for Jude's funeral, Alison tries to unravel her conflicted feelings and the many ways she has deceived the people she loves.
Betrayal, lust, and guilt weave through this novel that transcends time, as Alison Bouchard struggles to find freedom from the life she has built and the lies she lives.
"Patti Frazee's great wisdom is in knowing that coming of age doesn't stop with adolescence. In Out of Harmony, secrets from the past and present collide to force Frazee's mid-life protagonist, Alison Bouchard, to take stock of her life. With humanizing detail, a judicious sprinkling of wit, and a sweeping sense of place from Minneapolis to a small Nebraska town to New Orleans, Frazee's probing work is an ode to the power of the imagination and the on-going quest for identity. Anyone who has struggled to rethink who you are and what you know will resonate. And cheer."
--Pamela Carter Joern, author of The Floor of the Sky and The Plain Sense of Things
