Katherine wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't found the
letter... Katherine Arthur's dying mother arrives on her doorstep,
forcing her to relive a past she wanted to forget. When Katherine
was young, the Arthur family had been affluent city dwellers until
shame sent them running for the prairie, into the unknown. Taking
her family, including young Katherine, to live off the land was the
last thing Jeanie Arthur had wanted. But, she did her best and made
a go of it. For Jeanie's husband, Frank, it had been a world of
opportunity. Dreaming, lazy Frank. But, it was a society of
uncertainty-a domain of natural disasters, temptation, hatred, even
death. Ten-year-old Katherine had loved her mother fiercely, put
her trust in her completely, but when there was no other choice,
and Jeanie resorted to extreme measures on the prairie to save her
family, she tore Katherine's world apart. Now, seventeen years
later, Katherine has found the truth--she has discovered the last
letter. After years of anger, can Katherine find it in her heart to
understand why her mother made the decisions that changed them all?
Can she forgive and finally begin to heal before it's too late? The
Last Letter is the novel for every daughter who thinks she knows
her mother's story.

Sweet Romance... Fresh off their whirlwind nuptials and unexpected,
but joyous pregnancy, April and Hale Abercrombie are gleeful about
their life together. But, while Hale is serving his country in
Vietnam, he receives news of the loss of their newborn daughter.
Back home on leave, Hale can barely wait to hold his wife. Their
reunion is passionate and their physical connection, strong and
soothing. His embrace, his touch, and his love are just as perfect
as April remembered. But nothing, not even Hale, can ease April's
heartache. Hale stumbles through his attempts at convincing her
that their future will be rich and full of wonder despite their
loss. His good-hearted, but take-charge approach causes her to
retreat. Even in grief, April recognizes Hale's earnestness, yet
she can't help but distance herself from him. With only a short
time before Hale must return to war, the couple begins to
understand that hope starts with them-that the bliss they once knew
will return only if they are willing to trust again. Set on the
beaches of the Outer Banks, Return to Love is the second book in
the Endless Love series. Book one, Home Again, was named a finalist
in the 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

1969-- Set on the shores of the Albemarle Sound, April Harrington
has fond memories of summers at her family home, Bliss. After her
fairytale wedding disintegrates, it becomes her refuge-the one
place where she can attempt to pull the unraveling threads of her
life back together. Unbeknownst to April, the stately house has
been neglected in recent years. The once-sturdy roof is leaking in
a few dozen places, and the wharf is rotting. Nothing is the same
as she remembers. Nothing except for Hale, a Viet Nam pilot who is
haunted by a dreadful secret, and who is also her brother's best
friend, a brother killed in the conflict that is tearing the
country apart. In Hale's presence, April finds familiarity and
solace. They share grief for a lost loved one, and from the comfort
of Hale's arms, passion blooms. Yet, April's future is unresolved.
Her wealthy, arrogant almost-bridegroom wants her back and the
ghosts of Viet Nam are whispering to Hale. Can they find new love
in an old treasured home, the kind of affection and trust that
lasts forever?
For every woman who wonders if she chose the right career...
Carolyn Jenkins strives for two things--to be the greatest teacher
ever and to find true love. She's as skilled at both as an infant
trying to eat with a fork. Carolyn's suburban upbringing and
genuine compassion for people who don't fit effortlessly into
society are no match for weapon-wielding, struggling students,
drug-using colleagues, and a wicked principal. Meanwhile, her
budding relationship with a mystery man is thwarted by his gaggle
of eccentric sisters. Carolyn depends on her friends to get her
through the hard times, but with poverty-stricken children at her
feet and a wealthy man at her side, she must define who she is. The
reality of life after college can be daunting, the road to
full-fledged adulthood long and unscripted. Can Carolyn take
control and craft the existence she always wanted?
The sins of the mother... In the mill town of Donora, Pennsylvania,
site of the infamous 1948 "killing smog," headstrong nurse Rose
Pavlesic tends to her family and neighbors. Controlling and
demanding, she's created a life that reflects everything she missed
growing up as an orphan. She's even managed to keep her painful
secrets hidden from her loving husband, dutiful children, and large
extended family. When a stagnant weather pattern traps poisonous
mill gasses in the valley, neighbors grow sicker and Rose's nursing
obligations thrust her into conflict she never could have fathomed.
Consequences from her past collide with her present life, making
her once clear decisions as gray as the suffocating smog. As
pressure mounts, Rose finds she's not the only one harboring lies.
When the deadly fog finally clears, the loss of trust and faith
leaves the Pavlesic family-and the whole town-splintered and
shocked. With her new perspective, can Rose finally forgive herself
and let her family's healing begin?
