    About this ebook

    Marcy and Brad’s marriage is back on track even with the major changes at play, one of which is a falling out between Brad and his father.

    It’s revealed that Liam’s family’s murders were not a simple home invasion. There’s more to the story than originally thought, which means the ultimate criminal is still at large.
    A new wedding is planned for New Year’s Eve. This wedding is a complete surprise to everyone, and an unexpected pregnancy may interfere.
    Marcy’s secret daytime trips are revealed, but not before Liam misunderstands what she’s doing. This devastation leads Marcy to remember the final pieces of her past, which include Liam.

    Thanksgiving at Marcy’s parent’s house brings back old memories and new jealousies. Marcy gives a Thanksgiving speech that sheds light on her life. The men in Marcy’s life become even closer, and a true bond is formed. A major purchase is made that not only secures the family’s future, but makes Marcy happy.

      My grandfather came to live with me. There was nowhere else for him to go. What had happened to all his children? Death, decay, exile—I hardly know. My own parents died of pain. But I must not be too gloomy, at the beginning, or you will leave me, an

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      How I grieved THE MOTHER I NEVER HAD

      Mar 1, 2022

      The call came mid-morning, when I was sitting at my desk at work. The lady on the other end had a quiet, soothing voice. She was calling, she said, to arrange the details for my mum’s funeral. My first feeling was relief. When I’d last seen my mother
