The Law of Bound Hearts
Praise
The Law of Bound Hearts unfolds with such precision and power that it kept me turning pages way into the night, spellbound. Without sentimentality or preaching, Anne LeClaire captures perfectly the agony of estrangement and the ultimate redemption of forgiveness.”
- Cassandra King, author of The Sunday Wife

“Once again, Anne LeClaire has given life on the page to characters we care about, as if they were old friends. Here is the work of a nature-born storyteller.”
- Joyce Maynard, author of The Usual Rules

“Anne LeClaire has given us a realistic glimpse into the intricacies of family life: how the ties that bind can sometimes chafe and sometimes be a lifeline, how there are some bonds that are deeper than blood and run longer than history. The story of Sam and Libby rings so true, it’s hard to believe these aren’t women we’ve actually met.”
- Jodi Picoult, author of My Sister’s Keeper

The Law of Bound Hearts is a lovely novel whose characters surprise us with their humor and strength even in the midst of trouble and betrayal. Anne LeClaire writes dialogue that could come directly from our own real lives, with all the wit and sorrow and love that life allows.”
- Josephine Humphreys, author of Rich in Love

“A gripping, emotional intensity and depth of feeling highlight this poignant and lyrical novel, which illustrates how precious life is.” - Romantic Times

“Recommended…LeClaire has crafted authentic characters and successfully portrays the power of forgiveness.” - Library Journal
