Healing Notes

by Maggie Jaimeson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

Forgiving yourself is the first step, but helping others forgive may be just too hard.

 

Rachel Cullen grew up in Scotland with a fiddle in her hand from the age of four. She couldn’t imagine life as anything but a musician. When her husband brought her to America she was immediately embraced by the Celtic and Bluegrass communities. But after her divorce, Rachel’s life is a mess.

 

A year of trying to prove to herself that she’s woman enough for any man, and then a vicious rape while on tour with the band, leaves Rachel reeling. When she meets Noel Kershaw, an English teacher who is poetry in motion, she is definitely attracted. But he has a young child and he’s suffering from his own divorce. The last thing Rachel needs in life is more baggage.

 

First, Rachel must reconcile who she is, what she wants, and how to get there. Maybe then she’ll know how to be a part of the family she’s always wanted.

Excerpt:

 

Claire crawled onto a stool on the other side of the island and smiled.  Neither of them talked for several minutes as they listened to the water in the pot heat.

 

“When I grow up, I’m going to play with Sweetwater Canyon all the time.”

 

“Are you sure you want to hang out with all us old folks?”

 

“You’re not all old. Well maybe a little old. But Kat isn’t old.”

 

Rachel smiled. “That’s true. She’s only seventeen.” And going on twenty-five it seemed sometimes.

 

“Oh, seventeen? That is old.” Claire put a finger to her lips and furrowed her brow. “How old do I have to be to play in the band all the time?”

 

“Probably at least eighteen.”

 

“But, you just said Kat—”

 

“Kat is different, because her mother plays in the band and can watch her all the time.”

 

“Well, you can watch me all the time. You can be my mother.”

 

Rachel gulped.

 

“Well, can’t you?”

 

“Can’t she what?” Noel walked in the room and lifted Claire off the chair in a big hug, swinging her around the room. “Can’t she what? She can do anything she wants.”

 

“See,” Claire leaned forward and looked at Rachel over Noel’s shoulder. “See, even Daddy thinks you can be my mother.”

 

“Whoa.” Noel set Claire back on the stool. “I’m not sure what I walked in on here.” He sent an accusing glance to Rachel. “You already have a mother, Claire.”

 

“I know. Not my real mother. My second mother. You know, like my friend, Megan. Her mommy and daddy got divorced and her daddy married a new mommy. So, Megan has two mommies now.  See?  Rachel can be my second mommy. Okay?”

    Sugarbeat, Thank you for hosting this stop on the Book Blast tour. I’m really enjoying getting to know new readers and hearing about what makes them pick up a book or consider following it for awhile. With romance being the number one selling fiction genre, I’m always amazed at the variety of interests readers articulate. That leads me to a question for your readers here. I hope it will get people started posting and get their names in to win a prize. Is there a particular genre that you always gravitate to first? Or does the book you pick to read today reflect what your mood is? For me, I read across many genres, so definitely the one I choose is related to my mood and to what I’m writing at the moment. As I read over 100 books a year, that means I have lots of mood possibilities. 🙂

      Hi Maggie!
      I’m so glad that you visited today! Good luck with your book! I’ll answer your question. I always gravitate towards a Regency Romance – one that has beautiful cover, often with a woman in and beautiful gown that reminds me of Cinderella! I think that I enjoy reading Regency romances because they allow me to escape to a fairytale every time I read one.

    Sugarbeat, I completely get the Regency Romance era and that Cinderella feeling. I’m still waiting to actually be Cinderella one day. Not the evil step-mother part, only the beautiful gowns, coaches, and handsome prince part. 🙂

    Thanks for stopping here Rita! I’ve seen you at a couple other stops too. I really appreciate the following around the tour. It also gets you more entries in the random draw.
