A surprise that draws both families together more than they already are.

About the author

I'm a small town girl who in early 2000 moved to New Jersey. I had been writing for years. I have so many manuscripts I started and never finished I don't know what to do with them all. I happened to be stuck at the Philadelphia airport with an editor from a publishing house in New York. She read one of my first manuscripts and offered me advise on how to improve it. I lost touch with her with my career in IT taking over. In 2013 I lost my job in IT after ten years with the same company. Found another, lost it again in 2014 due to cutbacks. During this downtime I started writing again and decided to explore Self-Publishing. I love living out the lives of my characters on paper. I love reading other author's works as well. There is nothing like getting lost inside someone's fantasy just for a little while because life sure isn't easy. You can forget your troubles inside the pages of a book.

You know a story is super captivating when you can't stop reading it and are almost late for work.

I thought the story was pretty cute however, the editing of this book was horrible. I read it on my Kindle and there were many times throughout the book that the sentence (or sentences) did not make sense & I had to kind of guess at what it was supposed to say. Also, it was hard to follow at times because each chapter changed to a different character and the horrible editing made it very confusing as to which character was doing the talking. If you can overlook the editing and see the story underneath, then you have an ok story line.
