Publisher Description
From a #1 New York Times bestselling author, an emotional thriller where the lives of a young mother and a high-rolling consultant collide under devastating circumstances.
At a Texas county fair, children’s book author Elle Portman is enjoying a rare night out with her favorite cowboy: her two-year-old son, Charlie. But just as they’re about to head home, the unthinkable happens: a shooter opens fire into the crowd, causing widespread panic to erupt all around them. Also caught in the melee is corporate consultant Calder Hudson. When he wakes up in the hospital, he's told he's lucky. Others didn't fare we well, which instills in Calder a furious determination to get justice.
A chance encounter with Elle at the police station leads to a surprising gravitation to one another. But even as the attraction grows, Elle and Calder can’t help but wonder if the unimaginable tragedy that brought them together is too painful to bear—especially while the shooter remains at large.
Includes a Reading Group Guide.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A mass shooting brings two strangers together in this heart-wrenching thriller from Sandra Brown. Life changes forever when someone opens fire at a Texas county fair. Children’s book author and single mother Ellie Portman loses control of the stroller holding her two-year-old, Charlie—and when Calder Hudson tries to stop it, the business consultant catches a bullet instead. With both dealing with horrendous losses, the pair team up to hunt down the missing shooter, and soon find themselves drawn together in their quest for justice. Brown’s mastery of the intricately plotted thriller is on full display here, as her two survivors struggle to put their lives back together—and the killer resurfaces to threaten them both. Following an author’s note read by Brown herself, Kyf Brewer’s emotive reading captures the love, desire, grief, and terror of this utterly mesmerizing tale. Out of Nowhere will tug at your heart and keep you on edge.
