A Not-So-Perfect Past (Harlequin Super Romance Series #1556) [NOOK Book]

Though Beth Andrews still happily lives in her small hometown in Northwestern Pennsylvania, she was blessed with a vivid imagination—which means she's spent most of her life lost in her own world. As a stay-at-home mother of three children, she decided to put her stories on paper and pursue her dream of becoming a published author. After much trial and error, Beth discovered her writing process—daydreaming, mumbling to herself, playing Spider Solitaire...and writing, of course.

Beth's emotionally intense stories are balanced with just a hint of snark, which has netted her three Golden Heart finals and in 2007—a coveted win. Her winning manuscript, Not Without Her Family, sold to Harlequin Superromance—marking the achievement of her original dream and the beginning of what she hopes is a long career writing the stories she loves.

When Beth's not writing (or daydreaming, mumbling to herself or playing Spider Solitaire) she can be found making some of the many recipes she collects, redecorating her home or stringing beads together. She has been honored by her kids as "The Only Mom in Town Who Makes Her Children Do Chores" and "The Meanest Mom in the World"—as if there's something wrong with counting down the remaining days of summer vacation until school starts again.
