THE
CONCLUDING STORY of Aimee and Kestrel, begun in THE TRAVELING MAN ……
How many times do you gamble on love? When love has knocked you down,
should you give it another chance? When does optimism become
stupidity? And what happens when the man you’re in love with is
never still, always moving, always traveling? Do you say goodbye, or
do you leave behind everything that you’ve worked for, everything
that you’ve ever known? Can a traveling carnival be my home
Oh. You thought I had the answers. No, sorry. No answers, just a lot
of questions—and a heart that wants to rule my head. Can one person
be my home?
I
was ordinary. Nice. He was extraordinary. And he wasn’t always
nice. Moody and difficult, brilliant and beautiful, Kes scared
me and he protected me. He could be incredibly hurtful and incredibly
thoughtful. He wasn’t perfect, but he was perfect for me. He
challenged me, he took me out of my safe little box and showed me the
world could be magnificent. He was everything I wasn’t. Aimee
Anderson is ten when the traveling carnival first comes to her nice
little town. She doesn’t expect her world to change so completely.
But meeting Kestrel Donohue puts her life on a different path. Even
though she only sees him for the two weeks of the year when he passes
through her home town, his friendship is the most important of her
life. As a child’s friendship grows to adult love, the choices
become harder, and both Kes and Aimee realize that two weeks a year
will never be enough.
I
lived in London for over 10 years and have a love affair with New
York. It's only since I have moved to the countryside, that the words
have really begun to flow. I live in a small village by the ocean and
walk my little dog, Pip, every day. It’s on those beachside walks
that I have all my best ideas. Writing has become a way of life –
and one that I love to share.
