In the first work, Jolie leaves her home to esacpe a variety of problems and trace her roots, but finds herself facing a new challenge, her unrequited love for Steve Cameron; and in the second work, young and beautiful Sabrina Lane, living on her own in San Francisco, despite her blindness, finds herself falling for the handsome, yet overprotective, Bay Cameron.

Born in 1944 in Storm Lake, Iowa, she attended secretarial school in Omaha, Nebraska before meeting her husband, Bill. Bill and Janet worked together in construction and land development until they "retired" to travel throughout the United States, inspiring Janet to write the Americana series of romances, where she set a novel in every state of the Union. In 1974, Janet Dailey was the first American author to write for Harlequin. Her first novel was NO QUARTER ASKED.
She had since gone on to write approximately 90 novels, 21 of which have appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List. She won many awards and accolades for her work, appearing widely on Radio and Television. Today, there are over three hundred million Janet Dailey books in print in 19 different languages, making her one of the most popular novelists in the world.
Janet Dailey passed away peacefully in her home in Branson on Saturday, December 14, 2013. She was 69.
I found this book in a library sale, and you can't go wrong with getting 5 books for $2.00! I've never read anything by Dailey but it sounded interesting.
This had 2 books in one. The first book featured Steven and Jolie, and took place in Louisiana. Jolie is looking for a plantation that her ancestors once owned and she stumbled upon Steve who was living on that plantation. This was a cute story but the character of Jolie was a little too wholesome for me.
The second story I loved and was about Sabrina and Bay. Sabrina had just been in a horrific accident that left her permantley blind. Bay stumbled upon her in the street when she was lost. He wanted to help her and she didn't want anything to do with him.
It was a great book, and I will definitely read this author again.
