Jane Turner Goldsmith’s novel For Good (published February 2017) is one young woman’s struggle to come of age in the shadow of a problematic attachment, family breakdown and a single, shocking act of abuse. It’s a story of middle class lives rocked by an experiment doomed to failure; of homelessness and addiction, family deception and loyalty, connection and rebuilding. It’s about neglect — the domestic tragedy happening quietly and commonly in our cities and suburbs — but not, in the end, without hope ‘for good.” See www.blackrosewriting.com/literary/forgood.
