Synopsis

“A tale of missed opportunities…and misunderstandings that lead to disaster, Herta Feely’s Saving Phoebe Murrow is a compelling first-rate domestic drama.” –Wayne Johnson, author of The Red Canoe

Saving Phoebe Murrow explores just how stressful and dangerous connecting with “friends” can be. This tale about the dark side of social media delves into the timeless struggle between mothers and daughters, between parents and teens, with a razor-sharp 21st century twist.

Phoebe’s mother, Isabel, is precariously balancing career and family when a vicious cyber-bullying episode aimed at Phoebe ends with horrific consequences. In her search for justice, Isabel, a DC lawyer, sets out to find the culprit behind this cruel incident, only to discover betrayal is closer than she imagined.

This heart-wrenching, harrowing novel for fans of Big Little Lies and Reconstructing Amelia is the winner of several awards, including the National Indie Excellence Award.
