Description Shooting Out the Lights by Kim Fairley
Kim Fairley was twenty-four when she fell in love with and married a man who was fifty-six. Something about Vern–his quirkiness, his humor, his devilish smile–made her feel an immediate connection with him. She quickly became pregnant, but instead of the idyllic interlude she’d imagined as she settled into married life and planned for their family, their love was soon tested by the ghosts of Vern’s past–a town, a house, a family, a memory.
Shooting Out the Lights is a May-December love story that explores the ongoing, wrenching aftermath of gun violence and the healing that comes with confronting the past.

Sounds like an intriguing novel, ghosts and all…
A captivating and fascinating memoir which I would enjoy. Thanks.
What an impressive sounding memoir. Sometimes I marvel people can overcome such odds. Thanks for the chance to win a copy.
This memoir sounds a bit like one of the thriller books I’ve been reading.
Sounds like an ominous read. US gun violence has come here through gangs, yet our PM is only concerned about legal hunting rifles and toy replicas not illegal handguns smuggled over the border.
This is a story that is actually happening every day – here and now – love it that this person is beating the odds and is going on to have a life that she can have and reconsile herself with
Sounds unique
