Little Night

(WTNH) -- Author Luanne Rice discusses her newest novel.

"Little Night" is the New York Times bestselling author's 30th novel, a big milestone for Luanne.

"Little Night" begins in 1993 when Clare Burke’s life takes a devastating turn after she tries to protect her sister Anne from an abusive husband and ends up serving two years in prison for assault.

At the trial, Anne defended her husband—all lies—and the sisters have been estranged ever since.

Now, nearly twenty years later, Clare lives a quiet life in Manhattan as an urban birder and nature blogger, and the years since have done little to melt the ice around her heart.

One night, her grown niece, Grit, unexpectedly shows up at her door needing a place to stay, and also, it turns out, a place to heal from the wounds left by her mother disowning her and growing up with her cruel, controlling father.

Their reunion after almost two decades will be the saving grace for both of them, but first they must dig deep into their family’s difficult history to build their relationship.
