Book Cover & Preview Text
Carol thought about Ian’s phone call and wondered what she really had in mind for her. It was comforting for Carol to know that Ian wanted her to develop a relationship with her daughter, but what about Rose? Would she be open to building a relationship with her biological mother while her adopted mother was dying? Getting back into real life could be overwhelming, if she let it. She was going to have to step back and take a good look at what she was facing. Up until a few weeks ago she only had to worry about herself and Eugene. How could life get so complicated in such a short time? Ed could see that Carol was in the depths of thought and chose to give her some space. He read over some of his notes in his briefcase. He had obtained some good information in the meetings and was anxious to share it with his managers when he returned. He made notes and outlined the meeting agenda. Would Carol want to continue seeing him after they returned? His mind went back to the phone conversation he accidentally overheard. What did Carol mean when she said “that was the least she could do for someone who took in her abandoned child”? Does Carol really have a child? Was Penny right?

About the Book
Once again Carol finds herself running away from confrontation. When she realized her best friend had kept the identity of her daughter a secret for the past twenty years, she left a goodbye note and caught a plane back home. Back home to what? The man waiting for her at the airport loves her dearly, but will she be able to respond and return that love? The flight home gave her time to think about the next phase of her life. Her coping method for the past twenty years was to keep her head in the sand to avoid the tragedies of her personal life. The decision she makes when her plane lands will change her life forever. Will she open her heart to Ed and find love? Will her daughter ever want to develop a relationship with her? Life was so less complicated when she isolated herself from the outside world. Her time spent with Ed, and her discovery of her daughter she abandoned at birth, have given her a new lease on life. Will she find the self confidence to hold her head high and adventure into the world of change?
