Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly even hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. The purpose of the event is to highlight upcoming books.

This is my first Waiting on Wednesday blog.  I am waiting on...

Out of the Easy by Ruta Septys.
Release date: February 12, 2013

From Amazon:

It’s 1950, and as the French Quarter of New Orleans simmers with secrets, seventeen-year-old Josie Moraine is silently stirring a pot of her own. Known among locals as the daughter of a brothel prostitute, Josie wants more out of life than the Big Easy has to offer. She devises a plan get out, but a mysterious death in the Quarter leaves Josie tangled in an investigation that will challenge her allegiance to her mother, her conscience, and Willie Woodley, the brusque madam on Conti Street.

Josie is caught between the dream of an elite college and a clandestine underworld. New Orleans lures her in her quest for truth, dangling temptation at every turn, and escalating to the ultimate test.

With characters as captivating as those in her internationally bestselling novel Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys skillfully creates a rich story of secrets, lies, and the haunting reminder that decisions can shape our destiny.

What books are you waiting on? I'd love to hear about them!
