Lenni Serrano has approached adulthood with inflated expectations. But now she is at a loss to reconcile her youthful aspirations with the routine and predictability of the life she has actually lived. Desperate to break its tedium, she makes questionable choices-which later exact a painful toll on herself and those closest to her. When she becomes entangled with a brilliant, but volatile and menacing co-worker, she falls into a spiral of events that end in tragedy.
Ultimately, Lenni and her husband, Aaron, must navigate the end of a twenty-year marriage that has balanced precariously on the contradictions of an enduring love and underlying incompatibility. A White Trail is a tale of love and loss, a struggle for self-knowledge, and in the end, acceptance.
"Lenni's love of both passion and comfort is relatable, as is the idea that shelving one's dreams can come back to haunt you. Krantz...gives readers a protagonist to root for-one who finds herself torn between the life she's created and the one she's always thought she'd have. Krantz's focus on her characters' emotions gives the story an authentic feel, and the ending is surprising and satisfying. An adult coming-of-age story that puts a unique twist on a mid-life crisis." - Kirkus Reviews
"The characters in this novel are people: real, fl awed, hurting. This made me sympathetic to them-even when they weren't on their best behavior. I believe everything that the author shows and tells us about them- because it all adds up, rings true. Everything that happens makes sense." - Alison Hicks, Founder and Director, Greater Philadelphia Wordshop Studio
"With a delicate touch, A White Trail offers many emotionally moving moments, particularly between the two main characters, Lenni and Aaron. Lenni's visit to their house post-separation is one vivid example that I'll never forget!" - Janet Benton, Founder and Director, The Word Studio
