Mailbox Monday - June 8

As with my It's Monday meme post, this one is a day late due to my lack of internet access.

Anyway, Mailbox Monday is hosted each week over at The Printed Page.

This last week I only got one book - handed to me directly from the author yesterday morning. Not something I was expecting at all.


The Truth About Delilah Blue
Tish Cohen
HarperCollins
Copyright: June 8, 2010
978-0061875977

The amazon.com product description:

Delilah Blue Lovett has always been a bit of an outsider, ever since her father moved her from Toronto to L.A. when she was eight, claiming Delilah's mother no longer wanted to be part of their family. Twenty now and broke, but determined to be an artist like her errant mom, Delilah attends art class for free—by modeling nude at the front of the room, a decision that lifts the veil from her once insular world. While she struggles to find her talent, her father, her only real companion, is beginning to exhibit telltale signs of early-onset Alzheimer's. And her mother, who Delilah always assumed had selfishly abandoned them, is about to reappear with a young daughter in tow . . . and a secret that will change everything. Delilah no longer knows which parent to trust—the only one she can really rely on is the most broken person of all: herself.
In a new novel as witty, sparkling, and poignant as her acclaimed Inside Out Girl, author Tish Cohen uncovers the humor and heart within the most dysfunctional of families.

I've never read anything by Tish Cohen before, but this does look good.
