What She Left Us Jenna and Courtney are dealing
with the unexpected death of their mother in different ways. Jenna broke off her engagement to the man she thought she'd
love forever, while Courtney headed back to college to take charge of a dorm-floor full of college students as a resident
assistant. Six months later, Jenna
is fueled by panic over the news that the sisters may have the same disease that caused their mother's death and she
makes an irrational decision - she packs it up and heads to college to be with Courtney. The timing couldn't be worse for Courtney,
who's discovering love for the first time with Mitch, a sexy guitar player who may just be off limits. Emotionally unstable, Jenna wonders if she made the worst mistake of her life by breaking off
her engagement with Darren, and when he shows up to make amends, she can't help but second-guess her decision. But then there's
Clay, the compassionate bartender at Klippy's who seems to understand everything Jenna's going through. And those hazel eyes
just seem to see right through to Jenna's soul… As the girls maneuver through their unpredictable
futures, trying to manage their new health risks as well as tumultuous love lives, Courtney finds a disturbing photograph
that indicates there may be more to their family than she ever imagined.
This stunning revelation could shatter the sisters to the very core, making them
question everything they thought they knew about their family, their faith, their past and, most of all, each other.
Before the Beginning (working title) As Marnie is finally healing from a late-term miscarriage, she is thrown
into a tailspin of emotional turmoil when she discovers her first love, Joe, is coming back into town. All the emotions
she thought she suppressed the past fifteen years erupt, and she worries about the revelations from the past that might also
surface. Coupled
with the fact that she’s struggling to get through her days with a distant husband (physically and emotionally), and
two rambunctious sons, and her world is crumbling. She knows the first step to getting her life under control is to confront
Joe, to find out why he disappeared on her. She also needs to share with him her own secrets from their past, so she can
begin to live again. But will Marnie's need for closure and the secrets she keeps (and discovers) worth the pain it causes
all those closest to her? Told
from Marnie’s perspective at age nineteen and at age thirty-five in alternating chapters, Before the Beginning
is part love story, part coming-of-age, and it is also a story about a woman desperate for forgiveness. It’s a story
for all women who have ever experienced the magnitude of first love, whether it was a lasting love, or a fleeting moment,
because a first love, while it might not be the best love, is one none of us ever forgets.
Grant and
Bridge didn't think their chance meeting at the cell phone lot would lead to anything, but after flight delays and a couple
of beers, each starts to wonder if they were meant to find one another. But Grant's supposed to pick up a girl he's met
online, and Bridge isn't quite over her ex-boyfriend. Is the timing right, or might this possible relationship just never
take off?

Forty Weeks (the book in the drawer!)
Ellen McMillian’s plan for the next forty weeks
didn’t involve tip-toeing around her infertile sister, getting black-balled from Thursday night happy hour, and
spending her fifth anniversary in Jamaica sober. But because of the Two Hearts pregnancy test, she’s becoming a
different woman, complete with a new set of boobs and a blooming uterus. Ellen’s got more than her share of pregnancy woes – her OB makes her insides flutter (and
it’s not because the baby’s kicking!), her pregnant boss thinks motherhood and career are not synonymous,
and her husband is suddenly MIA, both emotionally and physically. She’s in a constant state of panic, thanks
to a premonition from a stranger, a medical test gone awry, and the discovery of a family secret kept far too long. How
in the world can Ellen make it through the next four days let alone the next forty weeks?
