A gifted

shattered lives of Crystal's family -- a family that suddenly needs her.

Sean realizes he's in over his head. And though Lily has been the
unofficial aunt to these children since they were born, planting
emotional roots means taking risks -- and Lily's not sure she can.
The
ups and downs of love and family life can be a roller-coaster ride --
thrilling, unpredictable and downright terrifying, yet filled with
incredible delight. and Sean and Lily are about to discover the
possibilities that make everything seem worthwhile -- a future filled
with hope, happiness and the certainty that trusting love is the best
choice of all.

About the Author
Susan Wiggs's life is all about family, friends...and fiction. She lives
at the water's edge on an island in Puget Sound, and she commutes to
her writers' group in a 17-foot motorboat. She's been featured in the
national media, including NPR's "Talk of the Nation," and is a popular
speaker locally and nationally.
When her recent novel, FIRESIDE,
hit #1 on the New York Times, the author reportedly reacted to the news
by "putting on my lipstick and sweeping the patio." Why? Because she
knew that within a matter of minutes, her girlfriends would show up to
pop the bubbly and help her celebrate. [Update: FIRESIDE has been chosen
of one of Amazon.com's Top Ten Romances of 2009.]
According to
Publishers Weekly, Wiggs writes with "refreshingly honest emotion," and
the Salem Statesman Journal adds that she is "one of our best observers
of stories of the heart [who] knows how to capture emotion on virtually
every page of every book." Booklist characterizes her books as "real and
true and unforgettable." She is the recipient of three RITA (sm) awards
and four starred reviews from Publishers Weekly for her books. Her
books make frequent appearances on Amazon's "best of" lists. Several of
her novels have been listed as Indie Next picks and optioned as feature
films. Her novels have been translated into more than two dozen
languages and have made national bestseller lists, including the USA
Today, Washington Post and New York Times lists.
The author is a
former teacher, a Harvard graduate, an avid hiker, an amateur
photographer, a good skier and terrible golfer, yet her favorite form of
exercise is curling up with a good book.
