Kit Darling escaped her hometown, Pritchard Neck to avoid
the stigma she grew up with of being Babe Darling's
daughter. Everyone there always assumed "the apple
doesn't grow far from the tree." Tired of fighting
stereotypes, Kit's reinvented herself as Seafaring Cecil and
has been traveling the world looking for her place in it.
Now she's back to clear out the home her
mother has abandoned; she's run off with yet another
man. Kit's main goal is to get her mother's affairs
settled as quickly as possible, and get on with yet
another adventure. She never expects that the greatest
adventure of her life is about to begin right there in
Pritchard's Neck.
Sean McCabe is an upstanding citizen and parent in
Pritchard's Neck, but hasn't been able to squelch his desire
for adventure. Luckily, his adorable daughter Alex shares
his adventurous spirit.
While biding her time waiting for the right moment to tackle
the town bully, Stu Hardy, Kit finds a determination she
didn't realize was within her to practice tough love with
her mother. But, can she take that next step towards the
greatest adventure of all LOVE!
Sean and Alex, ready for the adventuring sort of life, are
willing to wait for her so they can all go forth on the
adventure of love and life together.
THE TRICK TO GETTING A MOM by Amy Frazier will make a
wonderful addition to any series reader's book shelf.
Alex didn't want to be too pushy. She'd heard her dad say
Kit Darling was a wild thing, and she knew you had to be
patient with wild things or you might scare them off. And
she wanted the famous travel writer to stick around. Kit
was not only way cool, she actually listened to Alex — and
made her dad smile a whole lot. For the first time since
her mom died, he seemed really happy.
But how was Alex going to make freedom-loving Kit stay in
Pritchard's Neck when she was so desperate to get out?
