Blurb:
What happens when you find
the one person who completes you, and then life conspires against you? How do
you set your grief and anguish aside? How do you pick up the shattered pieces,
put those pieces back together again, and try to move on?
Katie and Tripp met on the
playground the first day of third grade when Tripp tried to rescue Katie from
Zack, her twin brother. A lifelong friendship that later blossomed into love
began that day.
Broken beyond her own
ability to repair, Katie boxes her grief up and attempts to raise her three
girls the best she can on her own. As time slowly passes, Katie relives her
times with Tripp while struggling most days to even get out of bed. She is
reminded of him at every turn.
Zack is Katie's twin brother
and was Tripp's best friend. Having lost his own love, he dedicates himself to
helping Katie put her life back together. Throw in a mother-in-law who torments
at every turn and poor Katie can't even find a chance to breathe, much less a
desire to somehow search for tomorrow.

Bio:
About
this author If you are reading this, I think you should know that "About
me" sounds so very pretentious to me. I guess that is what I am supposed
to write about, so here it goes!
Katie Mac is a simple country girl who likes to spend time with
her hubba, hunka hubby, her three kids and her friends. She loves to cook and
really loves to eat! During the spring and summer, you will more than likely
find her outside puttering around in her garden. When the veggies start coming
in, she will probably be sweating over a hot canner in the kitchen, canning all
the goodies she is blessed with. Katie likes to hike and go camping, and as a
Girl Scout leader, she gets to do this pretty often! On cold winter nights, you
will probably find her wrapped in a warm blanket, lost in a good book, while
sitting in her rocking chair on the front porch!
Katie was born and raised in North Carolina, and while she loves
to travel, she can't imagine ever leaving the mountains that she has come to
call home. Not a day goes by that Katie doesn't thank God for abundantly
blessing her. He has been so good to her, and she is very grateful. She holds
Jeremiah 29:11 very close to her heart and believes it with every fiber of her
being. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future."
Katie loves flip flops, chocolate, sweet
tea and dirt between her toes. As far back as she can remember, she's had a
book in her hand. Reading has carried her to places she will never go. It has
introduced her to people that she will never meet. When life is great and when
it is rough, she's always been able to find a book to carry her through. She
finally decided to write down some of the stories in her head (yes, be scared)
and heart after dawdling around and wasting years dreaming. She hopes you enjoy
reading those stories as much as she loves writing them!
