Woman He Wrote

He wrote the perfect woman.Then he met her.Todd Allan has spent twenty years inventing people on the page. For his latest novel he created Cheryl Hill-six feet tall, short curly blonde hair, blue eyes, and the best fisherman on Lake Guntersville. She was everything he wished a woman could be. She was also, he insisted, completely imaginary.Until the morning he finds her sitting on his dock.She knows the lake the way only a local can. She can cast a lure into a coffee-cup-sized hole from forty feet away. She burns eggs, sulks when she loses a fish, and hums off-key when a bass is near. She is imperfect in all the ways Todd carefully left out of the book-and far more real than anything he has ever written.As the days on the water turn into something neither of them expected, Todd begins to uncover a thirty-two-year-old disappearance, a photograph that should not exist, and a truth that rewrites everything he thought he knew about the woman he created.Some stories refuse to stay on the page.Some love stories refuse to stay buried.The Woman He Wrote is a tender, atmospheric novel about the stories we invent, the ones that invent us back, and the quiet courage it takes to let a perfect ending go.
