Produktbeschreibung

Shawna Charity has an abusive partner, little money, no skills, and three children under six, one with an intellectual disability. To save them all, she escapes with the children to her widowed mother's home. Shawna's goal: to become a hair-dresser so she can provide a good future for her family, and be rid of Randall. Retired English bachelor Max Candle lives next door. Facing end stage cancer, he is ready to throw in the towel. But when Shawna asks him to baby-sit while she goes to college, he is persuaded to delay the inevitable, pushes through his pain, and rediscovers joy playing checkers with a little boy. When Randall stalks Shawna and challenges a restraining order, she must gather her own strength and accept Max's help. Together, they fight back against the mayor's son, a potentially corrupt judge, a drug kingpin, and a backstabbing childhood friend who has her own dark agenda. Shawna's challenges are those that many young mothers face today. So too, Max. It is through their courage, strength, and the support of family and true friends that they find renewal and fulfillment, on a life's edge.

Autorenporträt

JL Whitaker is an American Australian author who lets her characters tell their stories their way, setting them loose in places from metro Melbourne to small town USA to reach 'The End'. Whether men or women, young or old, her main characters are in transition, often in helping professions, and even sometimes cloned for space exploration. She is not a one-trick pony, writing in several genres including women's fiction, mystery, YA and speculative fiction. It's much more fun that way.

Having pursued a career in many levels of education and IT consulting, in both the US and Australia, her books share a lifetime of observations of people coping well and not so well with what life throws at them. Lessons are always learned along the way.

Besides writing, JL also volunteers for a local computer user group, and as President and long time member of a local women's club, raising funds for disadvantaged students.

"On A Life's Edge" is her debut novel. More coming soon!
