A very enjoyable read about trying to fit back into a mould you no longer fit." Talli Roland, author of The Hating Game ******** "This book reads like a memoir and I think it's because it is. Honestly, I wasn't sure I could get through it because it started at an odd point in the character's life. However, after I started, I couldn't put it down. Seriously. Why? It boils down to one thing: The writer is an amazing story teller. The way she describes even the most mundane events drew me in. I had to know what was going to happen next. I can't compare this book to any other books I've read because it isn't. If this isn't a true story, you'll believe it is. The ending really surprised me and it left such a impact, I'm sure I'm not going to forget this novel in a long time. This is part one in the series. The second book is a must read for me."

	Author bio: Hi I have been in the Hairdressing, Beauty Therapy and Aromatherapy business for over 40 years. I have been passionate about my work and teaching others to be above average. Now I am retired and write "How To" books to assist both professionals and home users. I have travelled to 34 countries and covered most of Australia in my campervan with my dogs. I have taken many photos of my travels and also write books about my dogs for children and their adventures on our travels. In the late 1980s I had a break from the beauty industry and studied Architecture. In 1986 while still owning a hair and beauty salon I also opened a KIT HOME business designing timber homes for sale. I won several major housing industry awards and also hope to find the time to write about building your own home out of timber. However it is amazing how busy we are when we retire and wonder how we ever found the time to Marry, have children, work, cook, clean, shop, study and have fun. So I may not get the time to write all the books I plan to write. You will in my mind undoubtedly love the books I have found time to write. Learning how to upload them for your enjoyment has been my hardest task yet. Therefore I will list the books on my friends website for you to purchase on CD and you can load them onto your computer and read them that way.

The book - with lots of new content not featured on the blog - follows the author as she leaves behind her LA life and returns to her roots, with lots of vignettes and familial snapshots along the way. A very enjoyable read about trying to fit back into a mould you no longer fit." Talli Roland, author of The Hating Game ******** "This book reads like a memoir and I think it's because it is. Honestly, I wasn't sure I could get through it because it started at an odd point in the character's life. However, after I started, I couldn't put it down. Seriously. Why? It boils down to one thing: The writer is an amazing story teller. The way she describes even the most mundane events drew me in. I had to know what was going to happen next. I can't compare this book to any other books I've read because it isn't. If this isn't a true story, you'll believe it is. The ending really surprised me and it left such a impact, I'm sure I'm not going to forget this novel in a long time. This is part one in the series. The second book is a must read for me."
