About the Author

Born and raised in Chicago, Virginia McCullough has been lucky enough to develop her writing career in many locations, including the coast of Maine, the mountains of North Carolina, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and currently, Northeast Wisconsin. She started her career in nonfiction, first writing articles and then books as a ghostwriter and coauthor. She’s written more than 100 books for physicians, business owners, professional speakers and many others with information to share or a story to tell.

Virginia’s books feature characters who could be your neighbors and friends. They come in all ages and struggle with everyday life issues in small-town environments that almost always include water—oceans, lakes, or rivers. The mother of two grown children, you’ll find Virginia with her nose a book, walking on trails or her neighborhood street, or she may be packing her bag to take off for her next adventure. And she’s always working on another story about hope, healing, and second chances.

My Thoughts:

Changes in life circumstances take a toll on anyone, and sometimes that toll can be much greater on a child. Amy Morgan has come back to her hometown to start life anew with her nine year old daughter, Cassie, after her divorce. Amy and Cassie are both adjusting to a new normal, Amy moving back in with her grandparents and being a help to them and Cassie having to start a new school. Unfortunately Cassie is not doing well and feels very isolated so begins getting in trouble.

In steps the principal Eric Wells who has long had a crush on Amy. Let me just say that Eric is a hero. He didn't have the best of childhoods so he is determined to help as many kids as he can in his position that he can. I like that he wasn't going to let his unfortunate childhood scar him, but make him stronger and help others. The way he takes to Cassie was sweet and shows he knows what he is doing.

This is a gentle love story of second chances of the sort. Amy letting go of past mistakes and Eric finally, maybe getting the chance with Amy he has always wanted. Throw in a little family drama and you have yourself a heartfelt read.
