Author Cathy Holden Robinson will meet readers, talk about the publishing journey, and share her inspirational story of turning tragedy into triumph, at a book signing for The House of Roses, her novel of romantic suspense.
About the book:
Novelist Caitlin Goodrich and AIDS pediatrician Colin Thomas have ended their four year love affair. As their days apart stretch into months, their regret grows proportionately to the size of Caitlin's abdomen. Colin has left more than a broken heart. In the early hours of single-motherhood, Caitlin learns she has been betrayed by the one woman who vowed to care for her. In New Hope, Pennsylvania, where the secrets began, and the lies are encased in the walls of the historic landmarks, the truth will be revealed. Dr. Colin Thomas has led a life of orderly chaos. This well-made plan begins to unravel when he is asked a question that will change his life. He begins to see living and dying in a way he never has. The House of Roses is a story of love, loss, betrayal and secrets, but more importantly, it speaks of the weight of guilt, the strength of family, and the incredible power of love.
About the author:
Cathy Holden Robinson was born in Binghamton and has made her home in Oxford, New York, for the last nine years. Cathy embarked on the journey to complete a full-length novel after the tragic death of her father, Frederick Holden, in 2006. Her father's death so influenced her to reevaluate her life that it seemed appropriate for Cathy to take the pen name, Holden Robinson, in order to pay tribute to the man who had adopted her as a toddler, and had given her a childhood worthy of fairy tales. Prior to becoming a published author in 2010, Cathy devoted her professional life to helping first time home buyers secure mortgage financing, in her role as a Mortgage Banker for nearly seventeen years, serving Norwich and the surrounding areas. Cathy was previously a guest columnist for The Gazette, and is a published poet.
