Seeing in the Dark, Arielle’s Story

Posted on November 2, 2014 by Judith Peck Books

A novel about family, love and betrayal, Set from the mid-60’s to the mid-90’s, Arielle……….

 

Seeing in the Dark
Arielle’s Story
by Judith Peck

Set from the mid-60’s to the mid-90’s, Arielle, an intelligent, attractive electrical engineer, achieves in her challenging profession yet struggles to succeed as wife and mother amid the demands of work and upheavals involving her husband’s temperament and her children’s dangerous choices. As Arielle navigates the shifting pathways defining the turbulent decades through the 60’s and 90’s, the reader find that these stormy roads are not hers alone but traversed by ordinary and extraordinary women everywhere.  Unknowingly, meeting the challenge of a vital and meaningful life, Arielle is in the company of quiet revolutionaries, changing women’s lives forever.

 

Paperback 413 pages

Kirkus Reviews

“A painfully honest, moving family saga—and first novel—by sculptor, professor, and multigenre author Peck.…a candid portrayal of the challenges encountered by a successful pro-fessional woman balancing work, marriage and motherhood. …the novel is a touching, no-holds-barred depiction of a dysfunctional family on the brink of brokenness. Peck proves herself to be as much an artist with words as she is with other media.”

The full review can be read here:
