Every writer should have a friend like Wynne Leon…cheering them on, reading and nudging with a resounding, “keep going…you’ve got this” message.
This week I offer the final “Slivers” Book Blurb, thanks to Wynne. She understood “Slivers” in its infancy and along with my dear friends Linda Frank and Kathleen Canfield, she read as I wrote — encouraging me to do the unthinkable: finish my first-ever novel.
When Joy Neal Kidney and Melanie McGauran offered their praise (in Book Blurb Reveal #1 and #2, respectively) I found myself floating with relief. And a little pride. I’d done it. Written a deeply personal story with its roots in my mom’s spirited family…with unexpected discoveries waiting for me as a wrote. Even better? My passion project of a novel found favor in the hands of writers and readers I admire.
The “Slivers” Synopsis
In a single week in the summer of 1973, a quiet suburban neighborhood implodes when generations of mystical deceit become too much to bear. Drawn to the web of secrets and lies, the other worldly slivers refuse to be ignored, pushing one family to the brink.
Wynne Leon’s Beautiful Endorsement
Secrets are meant to be kept—but never without consequence. In Slivers, Vicki Atkinson masterfully weaves good intentions with a tangled past, crafting a rich story of family, gifts, and legacy. This emotionally resonant novel explores how secrets can both protect and wound, ultimately celebrating those who survive—and thrive—despite them. A captivating read that lingers long after the final page.
