Orange is the Color of Goodbye - Paperback

by Christina Suzann Nelson (Author)

A mother's wreckage. A daughter's reckoning.

Eden Brecklin should be celebrating. After sixteen terrifying months of cancer treatments, her young son's scans are finally clear.

Then her estranged mother calls.

Carrie Buchanan is dying, and the Oregon house Eden escaped years ago has been condemned. With her name still attached to the property, Eden has no choice but to leave her husband and children in California and return to the home-and the memories-she worked so hard to leave behind.

Buried beneath years of clutter and decay, Eden finds traces of a past she never fully understood. Each room forces her to confront the cruel words that shaped her, the guilt that followed her into adulthood, and the fear that she may carry more of her mother within her than she wants to admit.

As the deadline to save the house closes in, Eden must decide what can be repaired, what must be released, and whether it is possible to honor the woman who gave her life without losing herself in the process.
