In the years
before World War II, Tessa Petit leads a sheltered life. Her mother monitors her activities, keeping
her at home after school to do all the chores, never giving her a chance to
meet people her age. When her older
sister moves out, she warns Tessa about her brother and to lock her door at
night. A growing sense of doom
overshadows Tessa. She worries about her
future. With no options, Tessa believes
she will never build a life away from her family. Sneaking behind her mother's back in self-preservation,
Tessa dares to find people outside her family to help her. She meets the dashing Thomas Johnsrud. In this enduring romantic debut novel, love
conquers obstacles and finds victory.
Catholic, Wife, Mom, Norwegian-American, Writer, Retired Soldier, Gardener, Quilter, Photographer, Historian, Traveler… (this list is not in any particular order, nor is it all encompassing). The definition of me refuses to be packaged neatly in a box. My writing desires to fly out in countless directions to explore the world or at least my world.
