with Amanda’s family over the next ten years.

As high school graduation nears, Tyler is shocked when one carefree
afternoon with Amanda churns up an inner turmoil he would have never
imagined; he’s crushing on his best friend. And for the first time in
his life he’s hiding a secret from Amanda. Convinced the timing is all
wrong, Tyler pushes his feelings aside as he and Amanda prepare for the
future. He will soon begin training to pursue his dream of becoming a
Navy Seal, while Amanda makes plans to spend the summer in Manhattan
with her aunt and then return home to the community college.

Phoebe Garrison, Amanda’s controlling aunt, is thrilled when she is
given the power to act on behalf of her underage niece. Bored with her
Fortune 500 advertising agency, becoming Amanda’s manager is just what
she's been looking for to rekindle her aspirations. But as Tyler becomes
aware of Phoebe’s obsession to push Amanda into supermodel status,
tensions rise. As the three of them become entangled in a mass of
concealed ambition and desire, each will make decisions that will send
ripples of turbulence across their futures.

Author's Bio:
I
began writing as a hobby while raising my two children. In 2015, I
dusted off my stories and my dreams to see if I could turn my hobby into
a career. My first story, Season of Hope, was inspired by summer
vacations which always included a trip to Franklin, North Carolina, to
visit family and explore The Smoky Mountains. When I'm not writing, I
enjoy spending time with family and most anything that involves being
outdoors, especially camping and hiking. I currently live along the
Emerald Coast of Florida and never complain about the hot, humid
summers, because that's exactly how I like them!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing Season of Hope on your blog today! :)
ReplyDeleteThis seems like it would be a good book to read on a rainy day. I usually like to spend a rainy day either catching up on some romantic type movies or taking about a 20 minute nap whichever comes first.
ReplyDeletespring is definitely the season of hope, and if I ever needed hope, it is this month! praying for a miracle over here.
