For
the past seven years, Mary O’Connor has haunted the Ealing Broadway station
each night as she stands on the platform holding a sign. The sign says simply,
“Come Home Jim.” Jim is Mary’s former partner and he disappeared suddenly seven
years ago. Mary hopes that he or someone will see the sign and he will indeed
come back to her. Most everyone shuffles past Mary, not wanting to meet her eye
or acknowledge her. One night, Alice, a reporter at the Ealing Bugle, spots
Mary. Alice wants to know Mary’s story about Jim. But she must be careful how
she approaches Mary. Alice decides to volunteer at the same crisis center where
Mary volunteers when she’s not working or standing on the platform holding the
sign.
ANYWHERE
FOR YOU shifts between the present day of 2018 and back to thirteen years ago
when Mary and Jim first met. They felt connected to each other and were soon
living together in London. While their life appeared good, deep down, Jim had
issues with depression and drinking. Mary tries to be his savior, but does he
want to be saved? The years move along as we learn more about the relationship
between Mary and Jim. Seven years ago he walked out. Why did he leave? What
happened to him? Meanwhile, Alice decides that she wants to find Jim. With the
help of Kit, a man she also met at the crisis center, they take off in search
of the missing man—but without Mary knowing what they’re doing.
ANYWHERE
FOR YOU is a haunting tale that will pull readers in. Mary is a sympathetic
character that readers will grow to care for. She doesn’t know Alice is a
reporter. If she had, she probably wouldn’t have talked so freely to Alice. We
learn that Jim loves Mary, but he is slowly drifting away from her, and Mary
doesn’t see it because she is bent on saving him from his demons. Will Alice
find Jim, and if so, will she bring him back to Mary? As for Alice, the road
trip in the enclosed confines of the car has her and Kit growing closer. Will
there be a romance blooming between them by the end?
If
you love a well-written and emotional tale that has you wanting to find out the
answers to the questions surrounding Mary and Jim, plus Alice’s pursuit, then
you will enjoy ANYWHERE FOR YOU. Be sure to grab this when it goes on sale in
April 2021.
