Sunset, Missouri, 1954. As hope flourishes in postwar America, a young widow dares to dream of a second chance at a forever love . . . Clara Sinclair has learned to live one lonely day at a time. It was the only way she managed to survive her husband's death in World War II and raise their young son alone. But now she's at a loss as to how to handle the defiant teenager he has become, even as she struggles to keep her family financially afloat. She's fresh out of ways to turn her luck around-until a daring stranger's unexpected kindness sparks hope she hasn't felt in a long time... Drake McCoy lives for risk, speed, and putting his incredible drag racing skills to the test. One night in this quiet rural town is all he needs to win a big score and be on his way . . . until he meets Clara. Drawn in by her quiet strength and her beauty, Drake is tempted to become someone he never imagined-a family man. But a vicious and unseen enemy is closing in fast, throwing Drake and Clara's fragile future into a dangerous tailspin. Can their love survive?
Your excerpt touched me deeply, in more ways than one. Of course, I would feel it, being a Woman, but as the Daughter of someone whose Father fought in WWII, and was also the recipient of a medal for his bravery, your book brings on extra meaning, for I think about all of those young men who sacrificed their lives and never made it home. I'm looking forward to reading your book, and I think that you may have added a new fan, for even though you may have been writing for years, due to family circumstances, I had to take a few years out of the reading loop, and have recently gotten back in with a vengeance. It looks like I have some reading to do where your books are concerned!! I love the way the cover of your latest book was done. Congratulations on your book, and I'll be sure to add it to my TBR list!! (Peggy Roberson 11:15am July 12, 2015)
