About the Book

Love was given to all, except herself...
 
Kit Brennan has always been the most grounded of her sisters. A Catholic school English teacher for seventeen years and a constant giver, her decisions have been sound --- just not very satisfying. Her fortieth birthday is right around the corner, causing Kit to consider some wilder notions, like skipping right past the love and marriage to raising a child all by herself...
 
A girls’ weekend away is just the reprieve Kit needs from school, Mr. Wrongs, and life-changing decisions. It’s there that she meets a man who’s dangerous; a man who challenges who she thought she was, or rather should be. Kit wants to indulge herself this once, but with one of her students in crisis and the weight of her family’s burdens weighing heavy on her heart, Kit isn’t sure if now is the time to let her own desires take flight...

Cocooning with Books

Okay, ’fess up. Who else like me switched to “Downton Abbey” when the lights went out at the Superdome during the Super Bowl? At our house we had been sipping tea with the Downton folks when my son Greg looked at his smartphone and told us that the game score was 28-23. Well, we exited the genteel land of Downton as the credits were rolling and shifted right over to beer and football mode. Yes, the beverage menu does need to match the viewing. Of course, with books I am sometimes inspired to cook a meal or shake up a cocktail from what I am reading, but there typically is no reading menu or beverage accompaniment. I joke that it’s a good thing that I do not pair wines with reading as I would be drinking bottles all day!
