Emma thought that she was finally going to get to start living the life she had always wanted for herself. Quiet, drama-free, happy. She never intended to be a single parent, but she devoted herself to giving Mark a happy childhood. Their house was chaotic, over run with toys, never-ending-laundry, and love. Lots of love. There was never anyone to lean on, though. She was so tired. She didn't regret one moment of the last twenty-three years, but where had the time gone? Suddenly, she looked up and she was forty-something; What now? A fresh start, down a new path. What she didn't count on, was the twist in her path; in the form of an intriguing stranger, a dilapidated old house, and deadly disease. If she thought the first half of her life had been rough, her limits were about to be tested again!

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)."
