About the book:
Two biological
sisters. Two different families.
Will an old
photograph prompt a reunion?
When
Ashley Stevens discovers a box of photos that remind her of her difficult
childhood with cancer, she wants to push that box aside while keeping her
promise to her adoptive grandmother to create scrapbooks from the pictures in
the trunk. A photo of herself as a young child sitting beside a smaller girl
continues to haunt her. Who is she and why does the toddler’s face look so much
like her own? Between her job at the animal shelter, waiting on a proposal from
her boyfriend of three years, and his troubled family, will Ashley ever
discover who the girl is?
There’s
nothing Kayla Witherspoon wants more than to quit medical school. After two
grueling years, it is time she tell her parents the truth—that she desires to
be a fashion designer, not a doctor like them. Adding to her fear of
imperfection, a woman claims Kayla has a biological sister. She’s gotten along
fine as an only child. Why would she need a sibling now?
First page:
La Selva Beach, California
Ashley Stevens stood on the front porch and shaded her
eyes from the early morning sun. “Here, boy.” Her voice shook with unwanted
emotion.
She’d grown attached to the young pup she’d found
yesterday wandering up and down the street. Poor thing looked like a cast-off
when she spotted him, but a good scrubbing in the metal tub brightened up his
beautiful tan coat.
She zipped up her blue sweatshirt, grabbed her car
keys off the hook, and slammed the front door on her way out in pursuit of the
Labrador. All God’s creatures deserved a loving home, and this pooch was no
exception.
Sliding behind the wheel of her beat-up station wagon,
she put the key in the ignition and peeled out of the driveway down the
eucalyptus-lined street toward the beach, her teeth biting the inside of her
cheek. “Tanner, where’d you go?”
Once in the parking lot, she scanned the area. A few
dogs and their owners were taking their early morning walks.
Please be here.
She rushed to the shore and kicked off her sandals.
The air was cool, crisp, and smelled of salt, and the waves crashed against the
shore. Moist sand oozed between her toes, and a seagull flew overhead. She
jogged up the beach, jumping over kelp and keeping her eyes peeled for the
stray.
Ashley loved all the animals at the no-kill animal
shelter where she worked and would take home as many as possible. But her
grandmother had insisted that no animals were allowed at the beach house and
told her as much on the phone the night before.
