Nora McCarthy joyfully lost herself in two things -her kids and her husband. Her kids included a hodgepodge of young people that found their way to her when they needed more than anyone else was willing to provide.
That was before, this is after.
After the kids have grown. After the unexpected death of her husband. After Nora discovered that perhaps her life was not as idyllic as she once believed. Nora is left to deal with the consequences of actions taken by others, actions she had no control over.
Jennifer was a child needing help. Help only Nora was willing to provide. For more than a decade Jennifer bounced between her biological family and Nora. There wasn't a lot of help for either of them then, Jennifer was a child that fell through the cracks of a broken system. Now that Jennifer is eighteen, there is no help at all.
For the second time in as many weeks Nora is surrounded by cops. Nora has done all the right things for all the right reasons and it might just cost her everything.
Please note: Consequences is approximately 83,000 words, professionally edited and VERY different from Sheila's best selling books - The Tea Series.
Blessed to be born into a strong Irish American family, Sheila describes herself as 'one of ten', although a recount would be appropriate. The original family unit was once limited to Mom and Dad, and seven brothers and sisters. That unit has grown to include in-laws, nieces and nephews, grandkids and more. It is a family rich in tradition and it shaped every aspect of Sheila's life.
Sheila raised her son, as well as having a hand in raising a plethora of other children she calls her own, and now enjoys the title of Grandma.
When asked about her writing, Sheila states, 'I devoted the first phase of my life to my parents and family, the second to my children, this last phase is for me. I love to write, share my somewhat skewed vision of the world, and with luck, make people laugh now and then.'
Sheila is currently living in Tampa Bay Florida, where her books (the Tea series and Lessons, the series) take place. She is currently working on Summer Tea, the next installment of the Tea series. Sheila is also writing Promises, the next book in Lessons, the series, and is rumored to be writing a spin off of the Tea series called the Girls series, featuring Morgan's aunt, A.J.'s grandmother and Adeline, Cara's employer.
