Women's Fiction
Would life have been different for Johnnie if she'd been
named after a woman rather than her dead uncle? Or if her
mama hadn't been quite so beautiful or flighty? The
grandparents who raised her were loving, but they didn't
understand the turmoil roiling within her. And they had
so many, many secrets. Why did her mama leave? Would she
ever return? How did her Uncle Johnny really die? Who was
her father? Now Johnnie Kitchen is a 43-year-old woman with three
beautiful children, two of them grown. She has a
handsome, hardworking husband who adores her, and they
live in the historic North Texas town of Portion in a
charming bungalow. But she never finished college and her
only creative outlet is a journal of letters addressed to
both the living and the dead. Although she has conquered
the bulimia that almost killed her, Johnnie can never let
down her guard, lest the old demons return. Or perhaps
they never went away to begin with. For Johnnie has
secrets of her own, and her worst fear is that the life
she's always wanted--the one where she gets to pursue
her own dreams--will never begin. Not until her ghosts reveal themselves.

Re: Johnnie Come Lately
Dear Sharon,
Thank you so much for reading my latest novel and writing your thoughtful review. I'll make sure my agent and publisher sees it.
Take care,
