The dead are never far from us. They're in our hearts and on our minds and in the end all that separates us from them is a single breath, one final puff of air.

You stopped looking for the truth...I'd guess that's a sin we've all been guilty of.

Nicole Baart has written a novel that satisfies on every level. Sleeping In Eden is a compelling mystery, a tragic love story, a perceptive consideration of the callous whim of circumstance and, perhaps most important, a beautiful piece of prose. I guarantee this is a book that will haunt you long after you've turned the last page.

I was a sinner. I knew that without a doubt. But I was not alone. And the night was the accomplice of us all.

It seemed that the good people were always cleaning up the messes.
