This story continues in Redemption Song

Raised as an only child, Caia Paine once believed she had everything she would ever need to live a rich and contented life. The last thing she ever expected was that she would wake up one morning, despairing, and so full of loathing that even the sky is darkened by the potency of her anger. After her only son, Jack, is taken from her in a tragic accident, Caia finds herself obsessed with the man she holds responsible for Jack’s death, pursuing him all the way to Jerez, Spain. There she embarks upon a journey that will lead her to suspect her own moral boundaries. It is a dangerous game that will forever change Caia and make her question the nature of her paradise lost.

Redemption Song is a compact, potent work of fiction in which nothing is entirely what it seems and answers are elusive. Surprising, revealing, and telling, it is the work of a rare storyteller.

“Crosby’s second foray into women’s fiction (after The Girl Who Stayed, 2016) is a quick read with charm and quirk.”

– Booklist

“A woman searches for closure, meaning, and maybe revenge in Tanya Anne Crosby’s latest, Redemption Song. Delving deep into the core of a damaged soul, Crosby cleverly contrasts the warmth and harmony of a family not so different from the protagonist’s own. Masterful.”

– Pamela Morsi, USA Today bestselling author of Simple Jess

“Packed with raw, emotional power, Redemption Song is an insightful and moving exploration of one woman’s triumph over grief. When you come to the last chapter, you’ll feel breathless as you reach for the tissues. This is Tanya Anne Crosby at her very best and marks her as a strong new voice in women’s fiction.”

– Julianne MacLean, USA Today bestselling author

Here is an excerpt:

Jeréz, Spain, present day, 3:12 p.m.

There he was. Right on time. Walking down the street with that pretty little girl, wearing her lime-green dress and those bright red sneakers. It was impossible to miss those happy colors. And what was he wearing? Jeans and a faded blue T-shirt—all laid back and punchy as though he hadn’t a care in the world. When was the last time Caía had worn anything but black?

How was this possible? The girl was clinging to him, trusting him to keep her safe. But how could anyone trust that man? What about him was remotely trustworthy?

Like a Nazi, he was hiding here in this sunny little village in southern Spain. But, then again, wasn’t this appropriate? He, the escaped villain; Caía, the harbinger of justice . . . although what justice should entail, Caía didn’t yet know.

She focused her attention on the varicolored pair, attempting to ignore the swarming pigeons. Some were perched upon the crenellations of an ancient, ruined fortress next to the coffee shop. Some hopped about, pilfering droppings from customers at Rincon Escondido—a small sidewalk café nestled along the path Caía knew he would take. Over the past few weeks, she’d studied his schedule, knew exactly where he would go and at what time.
