Atlanta's CNN Center Next Stop for "Edgewise" Author's Summer Book Tour

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 24, 2007 -- Darlene F. Wofford, Atlanta native and author of "Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember," continues her summer book tour Friday, July 27th at CNN Center's Waldenbooks in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Waldenbooks is located on the main level across from the food court, and their phone number is 404-659-1949. The author will be greeting guests at the front of the store and signing her novel from 12:00-2:00 p.m.

Based on true events in the her life, "An Assignment to Remember" is the first of three novels in the author's "Edgewise" series, with "Seven Years 'Til Sunrise," scheduled for release next year, followed by the third in 2009. The term "Edgewise" is used to describe the book's protagonist as a young Atlanta woman whose mind has shut down to block out back-to-back traumatic events, however other memories of her life are blocked, as well. Told through the eyes of the author's alter ego, "An Assignment to Remember" is not as much about the events as it is the inspiring story about her healing progression, and the prevailing strength of unconditional love between two people.

To quote Page One Lit literary newsletter, "Wofford is a wonderful writer whose personality and charisma is vivid in every word and sentence in her new book, 'Edgewise: An Assignment to Remember.' This is the most honest, heart-inspiring book ...(of the)... year. " The Midwest Book Review describes the novel as "An inspired tribute to the strength of the human spirit, and of working through a process of recovery to overcome the wounds that life can inflict upon us without warning." Denna Shelton of Twenty Gems sums it up nicely in her review, "Edgewise took me on an emotional journey of laughter, sorrow and hope."
