Dear Readers,

The Cemetery Keeper’s Wife is now available at IndieBound and Amazon!

I love meeting with book clubs, either in person or via Skype! See my Reading Group Guide forThe Cemetery Keeper’s Wife.

This has been my longest and most challenging work to date, but I hope you will feel it’s been worth the wait. It’s an historical novel, one which I believe I was meant to write.

The Cemetery Keeper’s Wife tells the story of two brave and complicated women, one real and one fictional, and an unlikely bond that transcends more than a century as they search against all odds for love, redemption, and a place to belong.

Rachel’s obsession mirror’s my own obsession and journey to find out the truth about Tillie Smith’s life, and tragic death. In The Cemetery Keeper’s Wife, two women, scarred by shame, and separated by more than a century, reach across time and rewrite history.

I am also thrilled to tell you that my first novel, THE RICHEST SEASON has just been rereleased as a trade paperback with a stunning cover of Pawleys Island! Also my second novel is being rereleased in December 2018 as CAPE COD LIGHT (previously titled SO HAPPY TOGETHER. It also has an authentic photo of Provincetown’s Long Point Lighthouse on the cover! Both were American Bookseller Association “must reads” and have been translated into multiple languages!

“Based on a true story, McFadden’s research is meticulous as she weaves the murder of Tillie Smith with the blistering fictional story of Rachel, a newlywed who is determined to solve the crime which echoes the denial and secrets that surround her marriage to the cemetery keeper. This is an original novel, one readers will savor.”

ADRIANA TRIGIANI, New York Times bestselling author of Big Stone Gap and Brava Valentine

“A riveting emotional ride of 2 women a century apart, coming together finding peace, one in death, one in life. This is historical fiction at its best.”

STEPHANIE SUPINSKI, Branch Manager, Palmer Library, Easton PA

“A heartbreaking story of shame, secrets, and the quest for love and redemption. McFadden relays a forgotten tragedy, which once held Victorian America in thrall, through the eyes of Rachel Miller, the cemetery keeper’s wife.  With passion and a keen sense of detail, McFadden, whose real life coincidences mirror Rachel’s, is the perfect person to tell this story.”

MARY ALICE MONROE,  New York Times bestselling author of The Beach House and The Butterfly’s Daughter

“Book clubs will savor the rich details of life in the 1800’s and the ripped from the headlines current story of Rachel.

J. FRANK BURLESON, Park Road Books
