True Blend

From New York Times bestselling author Joanne DeMaio comes a riveting novel about two brothers, one crime and the unexpected love story that rises from it.


Amy Trewist thinks she'll never recover her quiet life at her beloved farmhouse on a New England road. Not after her two-year-old daughter Grace is kidnapped in an elaborate crime. On one clear morning, in mere minutes, Grace is gone and Amy's world spins into a heartbreaking new place.


George Carbone often spends easy time with his brother. Whether at a ballgame or taking a day trip, it's how they connect. Until one sunny day when the trip is to a bank parking lot and George is drawn into a crime he never sees coming. And into a stricken mother's life he cannot ignore.


In a summer that simmers with the unsolved crime, George is haunted by a bankroll hidden behind kitchen tiles, by a brother who dragged him into this, and by a father who instilled in him a conscience. A conscience challenged when a young child and beautiful woman crossed paths with him and unexpectedly took hold of his heart.


Set among the red barns, lush cornfields and sparkling wishing fountain of Addison, Connecticut, TRUE BLEND is a compelling novel that steals your heart and does not let go.
