A single mom to now 18-year old daughter Bree, Gemma Clayton finds herself attracted to her new neighbor Dylan Saddler who is newly divorced and in a custody battle with his ex.
With children around and needing attention, it is hard for Gemma and Dylan to even accept to themselves that they are attracted to each other. But once they did, they figure out that it is hard to sustain a budding romance with a tween and a teen around.
Alas, that is not their only problem. Their emotional baggage from the past is more than just a bump on the road. It’s actually a big hurdle especially Gemma’s. Now, the question is, will their love for each other and their extended family be able to move on once all the cards are laid on the table.
A beautifully written story about love, forgiveness and being able to recover and move on from mistakes done in the past, the “Long Walk Home
A great read! The book is Rated M for Mature due to the theme of the story. There are mild sex scenes which are implied and not graphic.
Nobody knows what Gemma Clayton went through on the night of the 1996 Marietta High School senior prom, between running after Judd and Garth Newell’s car as it left River Bend Park and limping into her friend Neve Shepherd’s street two hours later.
Soon, though, she’s planning to reveal the truth. When her wonderful daughter Bree reaches her eighteenth birthday, it’ll be time for Gemma to turn herself in to the police and confess her involvement in what happened that night. She’s always intended to do it, but she couldn’t bear the idea of her baby growing up with a mom in prison, so she’s made herself this promise – when Bree turns eighteen.
What Gemma hasn’t counted on, though, is a man entering her life after all this time – a gorgeous, generous, honorable man living just over her back fence, a man named Dylan Saddler with a dark past and a wonderful daughter of his own.
