New!
Coming August 9, 2016--
ROAR LIKE A GIRL
We first met the highly-spirited, ever-optimistic, journal-writing, book-loving, candy-eating, community-rent-paying Willa Havisham in the best-selling novel, The Wedding Planner's Daughter, (Simon & Schuster, 2004), set in the fictional small town of Bramble, Cape Cod, MA, by the ocean, with a cast of unforgettable characters we've grown to know and love. Loyal fans enjoyed following Willa's life story through 5 more "Willa books" over the past decade. Now, after tragedy upends her perfectly happy world, Willa is forced to leave her sweet small town and start fresh in a city by a river. "Welcome to Troy, New York, Willa, the birthplace of Uncle Sam." We know, we know... "a river's not an ocean".... but keep an open mind and heart, Willa... there's a lot to love in Troy, too...and just wait until you meet your new neighbor, Rob...so nice and handsome...really hot:):) :)
