Hope Tarr | The One Who Got Away...

facebooktwitterInstagram

We all have one, which is to say a β€œThe One.” You know what or rather who I
mean. The O-N-E. Maybe he was your first love or your first big love. Maybe he
was both. Maybe you broke up with him--but I’m betting my next book advance he
broke up with you. Maybe you never really had him in the first place...but
again, I’m betting you did. At least long enough for a part of him to sink into
your psyche and your soul. Like that tattoo you rethink years later, you can
obliterate the image but not the experience. That shiny white scar is yours--for
keeps.

Only by definition The One Who Got Away isn't a keeper, or at least he hasn’t
been so far. And yet who among us hasn't been moved by those real-life stories
of high school sweethearts who find each other on ClassMates.com or reunion
night after years, decades apart and fall in love all over again, even marry, in
mid- and sometimes late life?

Hi Hope

I finish your book The Haunting and it's the best I have read I loved it. I'm looking forward for more of your books.
happy 2009

One day to win. OK don't Grinch me, let me win. Then I can be the one that got away with your book. Thank You.

My one-that-got-away never made it far....we were married 10 years after our first date!

My one that got away is a dream. I want to write and illustrate books for kids and adults. I am still pursuing the one that got away.

One Day Only and Todays the Day I Win! Okay, wishful thinking there! Thanks for the contest and I do hope that I am one of the lucky 3!

I would love a chance to win! Off work for a few weeks because of surgery and could use an exciting book to read and this one looks great!
