Fans of Jo Jo Moyes and Jennifer Weiner will fall in love with Tara Delaney’s riveting debut novel, “The Red Bike”. Gritty, raw and steamy, this genuinely unputdownable novel will haul you through every emotion!
Abigail Gallagher needs answers. Which of her mother’s lives was real? The life she led or the one she left behind?
When wildlife photographer Abbey captures the tenderness between a protective mother gorilla and her newborn baby, she wonders if she can ever feel the same family bonds. First, she must break free from the intense anger she has carried since learning of her mother’s affair. Her mother’s self-centered behavior remains the wedge that keeps Abbey and mom apart.
After a year away, Abbey returns to Austin from Africa just before her 31st birthday. Her boyfriend Ryan cannot pry any commitment from her for their future together, despite her mother’s playful, but pointed, urging and interference.
When her mother is diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer, Abbey offers begrudging assistance to lighten her father’s care taking load. Slowly, the secret layers of her mother’s life are peeled away, until Abbey has no choice but to face a new and unsettling truth.
Can she close the gap in her relationship with her mother before her life slips away? Can Abbey open herself to Ryan enough to repair their attachment and resume their romance, to make plans for a life together?

Paperback. Etat : Good. When wildlife photographer Abbey Gallagher captures the tenderness between a protective mother gorilla and her newborn baby, she wonders if she can ever feel the same family bonds. First she has to shake loose the anger she carries toward her own mother. After she returns from Africa for her 30th birthday, her boyfriend Ryan cannot pry any commitment from her for their future together, despite her mother's playful, but pointed, urging and interference. Her mother's self-centered behavior drives the wedge between them even deeper, and Abbey retreats into her own defense mode: keep your life separate, don't share your feelings, retreat far away to another continent, refuse to make plans together, use people without letting them use you, stay detached, never say 'I love you'.But when her mother is diagnosed with cancer, Abbey postpones her return to Africa on assignment and offers begrudging assistance to lighten her father's caretaking load. One by one, the secret layers of her life as her mother's child are peeled away, until Abbey has no choice but to face a new and unsettling truth.Can she accept the changes in her relationship with her mother that arise as her health slips away? Can Abbey open herself to Ryan enough to repair their attachment and resume their romance, to make plans for a life together?Nothing seems possible until Abbey learns Ryan's childhood story of his yearning for a bike. Not just any bike. The red bike. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN1943658617G
