In this intriguing debut novel—a journey that reveals how memories shape our lives and connect or separate us from others- Jamie, a young woman ascending from an oppressive relationship embarks on a desperate quest to escape. However her refuge is to return to the home she despised and left in the dust years before. Only her childhood journal and the family who raised her, can guide her search for answers to questions from decades ago that have molded her choices and left her with the stinging consequences she now must face.
As vivid memories of a tragedy that cost her both parents, come flooding back, Jamie discovers a truth that she kept locked away - something only she knows about the night they both died. Could re-living the memories that have shaped her life and relationships be the key to finding real, lasting happiness? What else may it bring to her door?

Who do you consider the most swoon-worthy man in the literary world? How about on tv/in the movies? I’m a pretty big fan of James Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser and of course Mr. Darcy but I’ve just started reading the Outlander series so we will see after I finish. Nathan Fillion is my TV pick and Chris Hemsworth currently for movies.

What’s the last song you listened to? Mean to Me by Brett Eldridge
Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author? Write, and read, but most importantly learn to be self observant and a very good listener. Ideas are all around you and will provide so much inspiration. Record all of your ideas even if you don’t need them for a current project, one day you might need them or develop a story completely based on them. Learn from those who have already mastered certain aspects of the trade such as Carolyn Howard Johnson’s Frugal series. Promotion, and editing are things her books teach the writer to do without having to reinvent the wheel.
This or That-
*Vanilla or Chocolate? Vanilla
*Summer or Winter? Actually Spring and Fall but if you’re being a stickler, Winter.
*Winchesters or Salvatores? Haven’t watched enough to know them so I can’t say.
Thanks for hosting today :)
