Some people are blessed to find that one certain person who
completes them.
Wrynn’s yesterdays were what others only dream of having. She and
Tripp were the best of friends before they even thought about love. They had
the fairy tale life where ‘like’ turns into ‘love’, and ‘love’ becomes ‘happily
ever after’.
What happens when life conspires against you, and snatches your
soul mate from your arms?
…only her forever love ended much too soon.
Broken beyond her own ability to repair, Wrynn boxes up her grief
and attempts to raise her three girls the best she can on her own. As time
slowly passes, Wrynn relives her life with Tripp while struggling most days to
get out of bed. She is reminded of him at every turn.
How do you set your grief and anguish aside? How do you pick up
the shattered pieces, put those pieces back together again, and try to move on?
Wrynn tries to find the joy in life every single day through her
daughters, family, and friends. Her twin brother Liam has dedicated himself to
helping Wrynn put her life back together after losing his own love. On the
other hand, her mother-in-law lives to torment her at every turn. Wrynn can't
even find a chance to breathe, much less a desire to somehow search for her
tomorrow.
Kathryn is a simple country girl who likes to spend time with her
hubba, hunka hubby, her three kids and her friends. She loves to cook and
really loves to eat! During the spring and summer, you will more than likely
find her outside puttering around in her garden. When the veggies start coming
in, she will probably be sweating over a hot canner in the kitchen, canning all
the goodies she is blessed with. Kathryn likes to hike and go camping, and as a
Girl Scout leader, she gets to do this pretty often! On cold winter nights, you
will probably find her wrapped in a warm blanket, lost in a good book, while
sitting in her rocking chair on the front porch!
Kathryn was born and raised in North Carolina, and while she loves
to travel, she can't imagine ever leaving the mountains that she has come to
call home. Not a day goes by that Kathryn doesn't thank God for abundantly
blessing her. He has been so good to her, and she is very grateful. She holds
Jeremiah 29:11 very close to her heart and believes it with every fiber of her
being. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future."
Kathryn loves flip flops, chocolate, sweet tea and dirt between
her toes. As far back as she can remember, she's had a book in her hand.
Reading has carried her to places she will never go. It has introduced her to
people that she will never meet. When life is great and when it is rough, she's
always been able to find a book to carry her through. She finally decided to
write down some of the stories in her head (yes, be scared) and heart after
dawdling around and wasting years dreaming. She hopes you enjoy reading those
stories as much as she loves writing them!

Review by Kara:
4.5 wonderful stars!
I am a sucker for military books, ugly crying while reading, and a laugh out loud story! This had all that and more! Kathryn Crane, kudos to you! I could not put this book down. I love how the story flips between past and present because you immediately developed a connection with all the characters! Tripp and Liam….enough said!
The story is based on a childhood friendship that grows into an amazing love story. Wrynn and twin brother, Liam become best friends with Tripp and instantly take him in when they realize he has a mother from hell. The love that grows between Wrynn and Tripp is the kind EVERY little girl dreams of. When 9/11 hits, Tripp decides to join the military. That’s when the proposal comes…..oh the proposal!!
Tripp is killed in action, leaving Wrynn with their 3 little girls to care for. With the help of her family and the epic monster in law, Wrynn enters the working world. She slowly loses herself, becoming a workaholic who spends less and less time with her children. Until one day, she wakes up! She realizes those little girls are who she needs to live for now! Tripp isn’t coming back……or is he?
The story ends with a few huge shocks! I was so upset for this book to end, but I am excited to see what happens next for Wrynn and Liam!
Well done Kathryn Crane, well done!
