We first meet Katie Byrne at seventeen. A tall and lanky beauty with reddish-gold hair, she has always wanted to be an actress. Her two best friends share her passion for the theatre, and the three girls have spent much of their childhood rehearsing plays in an old barn in Connecticut. Leaving early one day to help her mother prepare dinner, Katie realizes she has left her schoolbooks at the barn, and she and her older brother return to retrieve them. When they arrive, they find that the barn, the setting of so many happy dreams, has become the scene of a nightmare: one of Katie's friends has been raped and murdered and the other lies unconscious.
Ten years later, katie, a struggling actress in New York, is still haunted by the tragedy. Her friend Carly remains in a coma, and Katie desperately wants to achieve success and stardom not only for herself but also for her two old friends.

Barbara Taylor Bradford Where You Belong
Doubleday 2000 0385492758 / 9780385492751 Hardcover Very Good
On the heels of her bestselling A Sudden Change of Heart, here is a new novel from blockbuster author Barbara Taylor Bradford- about a woman finding herself and her place in life...in love...and in the world.
Valentine (Val) Denning is a young American photojournalist on the frontlines in Pec (a town in Kosovo), where she and her two colleagues-the British Tony Hampton and the American Jake Newburg-are covering the war. In a nightmarish ambush, all three are shot, and it is only when Val wakes up in a Belgrade hospital that she finds out that Tony, her lover, is dead. Equally upsetting, when she and Jake go to Tony's funeral it becomes clear that Tony was still married and Val never knew. In the wake of this traumatic event, Val goes home to New York City where she realizes that her recent experiences have not only thrown her life in turmoil, but also dramatically shifted her perspective about her future.
The captivating narrative and page-turning excitement that have made Barbara Taylor Bradford an international bestseller are at their strongest here- especially as she grapples with world-scale issues: the horrors of war and how they can devastate families, lovers, countries.
More than anything, Where You Belong is about a young woman's realization of her own inner strength and her ability to find her way in the world.
