When you're young and first starting out in life, the possibilities seem limitless: a career, adventure, finding love, a family. But what about when you're fortysomething, your children are grown and you find yourself on your own again? Maybe you're not the same wide-eyed twenty year old, but you aren't ready for the rocking chair yet either! What now? Emma wonders just that. She's had too much negative drama in her life, and a horrible experience with romance! How can she start over, get back in touch with the person she used to be? A move to a small town and an old farmhouse, that should keep her busy and help bring back her equilibrium. What she hasn't taken into consideration, however, is that sometimes fate will throw someone into your path who will completely change your plans and throw you off balance . . . for the better.
Autorenporträt
J. Gawlik has taught for over 25 years. She put herself and her son through college, working multiple jobs most of the time. The most important accomplishment in her life, however, has been parenting. She regards good parenting, especially single parenting, as courageous, requiring dedication and selflessness, saying, When a child is grown, a parent crosses their heart. Though she strives for stability, her life hasn't always had that. Her son was diagnosed with bone cancer at age 15, affecting them both dramatically. Gawlik says, "It's not knowing what your fate will be that's so draining from one day to the next, month after month. So, to lead a 'boring' life, knowing that, at least for now, the ones I love are safe and reasonably happy . . . that's a good life in my book (pun intended)."
