It’s been a long time coming – 13 years actually since my last book – but I’m excited to share with you details of my upcoming new novel, ‘True Calling’. I hope it will be released perhaps in late September or thereabouts. Read on below for the synopsis . . .
Ryan Gallagher suffers a devastating loss as a series of unexpected events overwhelm him and threaten to destroy what little he has left in life. Pushed to the limit, he faces desperate choices in a bid to survive. Sometimes, with no other option, the seemingly impossible is the only way forward.
Caitlin Donovan, a young woman with a four-year-old son, arrives in the Oregon coastal town of Port Orford, seeking to escape a violent past. No matter what she does, it seems destined to catch up with her. As much as she struggles to keep to herself, her barriers gradually get broken down by the people she meets there.
Daniel Wright, a decorated war veteran, is trying to raise his teenage daughter in Port Orford, despite never coming to terms with traumas he has endured in his military service and personal life. In the face of further heartaches, he starts to connect with the first person in many years that has awakened a long-lost hope within him.
The complex threads of deep-seated hurts and hidden truths that link these three start to unravel as love, life and family are put to the ultimate test. Each had to consider what personal price they are willing to pay for a future they could barely imagine.
“A great writer comes along about once a decade. Since it’s been thirteen years since her last great novel, Jenny Walker was overdue. Although she writes from an ocean away, Jenny shows a deep understanding of the U.S. culture and blithely blends Jane Austen with Tom Clancy. You will NOT stop reading until you finish!”
“Even Jenny’s minor characters live and breathe in the world she creates; some of them could be stories in their own right and sometimes are. But the main performers are more than mere flesh and blood, they worm their way into your brain and you agonise with them, laugh with them and love with them right through to the end.”
“It’s been a while since Jenny Walker chose to provide her legion of fans with another fascinating, exciting and sometimes sentimental story, but now she has. ‘True Calling’ isn’t sugar from start to finish and there are some gut-wrenching episodes which could break the readers’ hearts but somehow Ryan, our hero, comes through, even if only to protect his young son from the terrible consequences of what seemed at the time to be merely a natural public spirited act.”
Jenny Walker was born in Ireland and describes herself as being 'somewhere in the middle of Generation X'. Her love of books and reading throughout her life led her to take the step of beginning to write some of the stories that were always floating around inside her head. Despite travelling widely across the United States, Jenny allows follows her heart home to Ireland, where she lives with her family.
