Synopsis

"I smiled into the sunlight, glimmers of hope spreading across my tear-stained cheeks."

Olivia McKenzie has finally embraced her new roles as a local photographer and as marketing manager for her best friend's coffee shop in a picturesque Northwest lake town. Hailing from Southern California, Olivia is excited to close the seaside chapter of her life to begin a new one. But her hopes come crashing down when she is met with the sudden news of her brother's death.

On a whim, Olivia decides to run a marathon in his memory, enlisting the help of Blake Bessell, the buddy of her best friend's husband-and the man she may have almost kissed at one point. With little-to-no experience in distance running under her belt, Olivia learns that training for a 26-mile race is the easy part. Trying not to get lost in Blake's warm brown eyes and easy, dimpled smile is a different matter entirely.

Join Olivia as she discovers her internal strength and resilience: remembering her past, honoring her loved ones while moving on from her emotional scars, and allowing herself to hope-diving headfirst into the future.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Denise had always dreamed of writing a book. As a child, she loved to write stories with memorable characters and positive themes. She carried this passion for writing into her adolescence and early adulthood, hoping to publish one of her stories someday. However, as with any story plot, there were obstacles to reaching this goal. At Pepperdine University, she began to study accounting, a degree that required intense concentration and countless hours of studying and memorization. In addition, it was around that time when her older brother's chronic medical condition took a turn for the worse-leaving him in almost constant pain and removing his ability to hear, speak, and see well. His parents transitioned into full-time caregivers who sacrificed their time and energy so that their son could live another day.

For Denise, this devastating life change meant taking a step back from her hobbies, instead focusing on her family and establishing herself in her career. Sadly, her brother succumbed to the complications of his condition five years after her college graduation. She appreciated the precious time she had with him and the positive impact he left behind. Although she continued her accounting profession after his passing, she knew the corporate world wasn't where she wanted to remain.

A few years later, Denise and her husband moved from sunny San Diego to the forested terrain of Post Falls, Idaho, to plant their roots-buying their first home and expanding their family. That was when she finally found the inspiration to pen her first book, "Among the Stars"-originally an idea she wrote for her creative writing class in college. From there, she continued to push forward, despite a decade-long writing hiatus and several bouts of writer's block. She hopes these stories will bring joy and encouragement to those who need it.
