There Will Never Be Another You (ARC)
2 journalers for this copy...
In her first novel since The Handyman (1999), acclaimed writer Carolyn See returns to a theme first explored in Golden Days (1986): how we live, love, and carry on in an unstable world.
Set in the UCLA Medical Center of the near future, There Will Never Be Another You follows three generations of Californians as they struggle to live in a post-9/11 world amid the threat of bioterrorism. As the Los Angeles area weathers one medical crisis after another, the four protagonists of this very real novel – a heartbroken widow, a poetry-loving gangbanger, an innocent co-ed, and a dermatologist recruited to a highly-classified emergency response team -- strive to define themselves within and outside the most significant relationships of their lives. The instability of the country pushes each of them to focus on what is important, providing the courage needed to make the decisions that will change their lives.
See's true-to-life characters and insight into the human condition power this life-affirming novel. Readers will have no trouble identifying with the resilient protagonists and they will find comfort in See’s non-apocalyptic vision of the future.

I'm sending this off to SpikesMom today. She took it out of the Relayers' Virtual Book Box.
I need to say first that this book has THE MOST beautiful book plate I've seen in eons.
Now that that's been said, the book arrived here today and is, sadly, off to Mt. TBR for a bit. I am anxious to read it, as I became intrigued as I read Morsie's review on the bookrelay.com forum. ;)
