by Heidi C Sprouse, Patrick J Sprouse (Photographer)

Overview

Thirty years ago, Laura Flannigan walked out on Daniel and Michael Flannigan. Daniel has coped, done what he could to be a good father to his son, to do what he loves, and get lost working with wood. He hasn't thought twice about starting over again, his heart gone cold, his world gone gray. He never thought love might come softly in the form of an old friend.
Mare O'Malley loved her husband, Jimmy, with all her heart. When a heart attack stole him away from her several years ago, she nearly went with him. For her son, Sam, and her grandchildren, she's managed to go on. Her friendship with Jimmy's best friend, Daniel Flannigan, has been another source of comfort. They've given solace to one another since life has made them lonely.
When Daniel's son, Michael, gets married, a subtle shift will take place between them as they begin to cross the bridge from friendship to something...more. Will Mare find the key to unlocking Daniel's heart and will Daniel let her in?

About the Author

I've had a love affair with the written word since I was a child. My first grade teacher told my mother I wouldn't amount to anything, resulting in many sessions of Dick and Jane at bedtime. I still remember the victory of reading Green Eggs and Ham on my own. From then on, I was hooked, a veritable bookworm. It was only natural that writing would come next. I dabbled in stories for years, writing continuations of television programs with my best friend and filling notebooks with flights of fancy. Fast forward to college and I majored in elementary education with a concentration in my true love, English. I continued with Master's degrees in Reading and Early Childhood. I've dedicated nearly twenty years of my life to teaching, finding great pleasure and heartache as well. It is the most rewarding, hardest job anyone could do. I continue to teach, but I'm a mother and a big dreamer as well. I see novels in my head as if they are movies playing out, stories of admirable, honorable men and I fall in love with them every time. It only makes sense that the women in my stories are head over heels as well. If you need something old-fashioned, you've come to the right place. If you miss Mayberry, small towns, and a simpler time, you'll find it in the pages of my books. I promise. My characters and I won't let you down.
