I am really trying to look on the bright side of things. It just seems like the more healthy and adult thing to do. Yesterday, while out with my youngest baby basset, we were rear ended at a stop light. UGH. Not my precious little Spider!! I named my car spider because of the headlights. Anywhoo… It was quite the jolt! UGH. We pulled off to the side of the road, confirmed that we were all okay,  and started exchanging information. Once we got the essential info, like the drivers licensees and plate numbers, we moved to a safer location to get out of the way of traffic. It was all rather mundane and boring. PERFECT!! Just what you would want. That’s a bright side to point out. The other thing was I was able to show my son, who is working to get his drivers license, everything you need to do when you have a small accident. LIFE LESSON. I keep thinking to myself that I am most likely going to be the reason my babies have to seek therapy when they get older. I just hope I get some points for being a good adult once in a while. Ya, sure I used to wake you up by spraying you with water, but remember when I taught you what to do in case of a fender bender? That counts!!

Summer 1991. Sixteen-year-old Maia lives a peaceful life with her loving parents, surrounded by the stunning rural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. But when Maia’s mother is diagnosed with cancer, their family is plunged into turmoil — a period Maia dubs The Summer of Hell.

Twelve months later, Maia and her father still don’t speak of the year’s tragedies. Just weeks before Maia’s high school graduation, they struggle through their days side-by-side in near silence. Things look up when Maia’s father gets back to work. But when she joins the first guiding trip of the season, disaster strikes again. Maia must learn to believe in her own strength before nature destroys all hope of saving her injured father and her newfound friend, Jack.

True Moxie is at once an exquisite ode to British Columbia’s old-growth forests, a compelling coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of family secrets. This fast-paced, riveting, and ultimately uplifting adventure reminds us how, even when life takes us on a detour, stubbornness and love take us where we belong.

Part of the Island Echoes series, True Moxie can be read independently. Each book stands on its own, so start anywhere in the series to uncover stories featuring strong women in untraditional roles, celebrating the vibrant setting and industry of the Pacific Northwest, past and present.

New town. New identity. No men. A decent, three-step plan to give her a fighting chance, until a run-in with a local detective with haunted green eyes leaves her vulnerable in more ways than one.

Mike Sheppard left his hometown in the Colorado mountains a bruised, broken kid vowing never to return. Yet here he is 20 years later, paying dues for the dead. He’s built a life protecting the vulnerable, and as the town’s newest detective, he’s determined to restore trust and honor to a department recovering from decades of corruption.

Truth. Transparency. Dedication to the law. A decent, three-step plan to give him and the town a fighting chance, until a run-in with a suspected drunk driver with the devil on her heels leaves him wanting more.

Neither are ready for this, but is anyone ever ready for the kind of love that stops your heart?
