Mara Conley is returning to her small hometown in the midwest after eight years. She is no longer the chubby, acne faced teenager that had run away the night of her graduation. She has a new positive image, career, and she would like to find some answers. Discovering she has a genetic disease that can only be transmitted by family genetics, she goes back to Illinois. She searches for her best friend, wants to reconcile with her parents, find answers to the questions she has burning inside her of why she was treated so coldly as a child. Follow her journey back to her previous life, to look for answers. Subplot involving best friends husband and hostage situation. See how she handles the strain of being back home and yet being a different person. Reconciliation is accomplished, she understands more of who she is and how she relates to those around her.

No sex, no bloody violence, nothing I would not want my granddaughter to someday read. Hints of spirituality, but not preachy. First book of a planned trilogy. Second book, tentative title "Marisol" which means water and sun.

If you need more information or can help me in anyway, please e-mail or private message me.
Chatty, Pam? Can you help me in anyway?

Thanks to all,
Sherri
