Local Author Jennifer Svendsen Delaney Celebrates Launch of Stranger to Myself at Boulder Bookstore

The last thing Rebekah Lark remembers is lying on an outdoor swing in her backyard on a clear autumn day in Niwot, Colorado. But now, she
awakens in an unfamiliar brownstone in New York City with snow falling heavily. A man– a stranger – enters the room and serenades her. Everyone longs to belong, and Rebekah’s twisted existential plight, strikes that chord as she is propelled on a quest to prove her identity. This is an engaging tale about a woman desperately trying to find her way back to her daughter as she falls hopelessly in love with a man who believes she is his wife.

Both psychological and philosophical, the novel asks questions like: Who are we without our identity? Does the heart as well as brain carry memory? What power do we give to the medical community to make our decisions? 

Stranger to Myself will be available at the Boulder Bookstore launch or purchase it now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other sites under Jennifer’s maiden name “Svendsen.”

“Gracefully and intelligently written with nice metaphors. Plausible characters. Intriguing
story. Well-paced.” Colin McGinn, philosopher

“This is a character-inspired, well-plotted story with fabulous writing, a great theme and good forward-flow. The characters are complex and loveable, yet full of trauma and difficulty.” Laura Pritchett, author
