Her father needs her.

About this title

From the Author:

Have you ever wished for a second chance at your first love? That's the question Michelle Turner faces when a family emergency forces her to return to the idyllic Montana town of Crystal City.

The You The I Never Knew is my first contemporary novel–an emotional story of all the loves that fill woman's life: a young girl’s dizzying passion for her first boyfriend, a mother's fierce, protective love for her son and a daughter’s act of courage to save her father.

Michelle sets out on her journey with a rebellious teenaged son, a broken heart that never quite healed and a shaky relationship with the remote father she hasn't seen in years. What she doesn’t know is that she’s in for the surprise of her life–an encounter with Sam McPhee, the only man’s she’s ever loved. Sam is in for a surprise of his own: the sullen, black-leather-clad teenager at her side is Cody, the son he never knew. Michelle’s journey is about going back and starting over, trying to get it right this time. It's about the stubborn tendency of the human heart to hold on against all odds. And finally, Michelle learns something she should have known all along: never, ever give up on love.

This is a book for readers who savor the tears and laughter, the heartbreak and the joy that are the very essence of life.

I wish you a joyous New Year filled with new beginnings.

About the Author:

When Susan Wiggs's recent novel, Fireside, landed at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, the author responded by jumping fully clothed into her swimming pool. In February. In the Pacific Northwest. After thawing herself out, the author put on her lipstick and vacuumed the living room. Why? Because on the tiny island where she lives, news travels fast. She knew her girlfriends would show up momentarily - which they did - with the customary champagne and bags of Cheetos. She toasted her loyal readers, whose unflagging interest in her books propelled her sales upward. She toasted her friends and family as well, since they have always been the source of her inspiration. From the very start, her writings have illuminated the everyday dramas of ordinary people. At the age of eight, she self-published her first novel, entitled A Book About Some Bad Kids. Today, she is an international best-selling author, with millions of copies of her books in print in numerous countries. Her Lakeshore Chronicles novels celebrate the power of love, the timeless bonds of family and the nuances of human nature that make headlines every day. She lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest and is perpetually working on her next novel.
