Good-bye and Amen
Goodbye and Amen Beth Gutcheon
Contact
In a summer cottage on the coast of Maine, an unlikely love was nurtured, a marriage endured, and a family survived. Now it is time for the children of that marriage to make peace with the wounds and the treasures left to them. And to sort out which is which.

Beth Gutcheon's critically acclaimed family saga, Leeway Cottage, was a major achievement; a vivid and moving tale of war and marriage and their consequences that enchanted readers. Good-Bye and Amen is the next chapter for the family of Leeway Cottage, the story of what happens when those most powerful people in any family drama, the parents, have left the stage.

–Early praise for Good-bye and Amen
