Shattered by Heartbreak... "When a heart breaks, it does not break evenly, cleaving in half exactly down the middle..." Surrounded by her large, boisterous family in 1840s Ireland, Lara Flannigan has never known anything but love and belonging - until the day that tragedy strikes, leaving her abandoned and forced into indentured servitude Remade in a new world. Just when all hope seems lost, Lara is discovered by a childless American couple, visiting Ireland to aid in the famine-relief effort. With barely a chance to look back, she's swept away to a bustling new continent - and a dizzying new reality. One of petticoats, opulent townhouses, and the cold reaches of Philadelphia high society. Desperate for a future, Lara works tirelessly to fit into her new life... while still haunted by her past that won't let her go. Set in a fascinating historical period, Lara's Story is a gripping young adult novel that explores the strength of the human spirit and the power of forgiveness to heal a broken heart.

Autorenporträt
Diane Merrill Wigginton was born in Riverside, California in 1963. Her family moved to San Diego near the end of 1970, where she grew up in the newly developed community of Mira Mesa. Spending portions of her summers each year in Burly, Idaho with her mother's parents, Florence and Orval Merrill, Diane developed a love of animals and a respect for the land. It was during this time on the farm riding horses, herding cattle and taming wild kittens she found between the haystacks that Diane also developed a love of storytelling. She dreamed that one day she would become a published author and would be able to tell her stories to the world. Having spent her entire life in California, Diane and her husband made the move from Northern California to Kalispell Montana to retire in February 2018. Now she is able to pursue her passion of writing books full-time. "I am thrilled and elated to be doing what I love."
