de Lori Lapekes

Keri has no idea who she really is anymore.Raised in the Midwest, where catching frogs and shovelling manure is common practice, then spending several adult years traveling the country and hob-nobbing with celebrities and the elite, Keri returns to her roots. She now lives in her sister's basement, wondering just who she really is anymore.After a peculiar meeting with the Quinn cousins, Keith and Jeremy, Keri is determined to capture Keith's attention. An actor, a tall, compelling man, elusive, even abrasive at times, Keith is particularly intriguing to a woman like Keri who is accustomed to capturing the heart of any man she's ever wanted. Yet it was Jeremy, the humble cabinet-maker and owner of a misshapen dog named Scalawag, who leaped into a bon-fire to rescue a scrap of an old coat that had sentimental value for her.Following two episodes with the facial disorder, Bell's Palsy, and after Jeremy has moved out of state, possibly to run from his heartbreak over her, Keri finally realizes not only who she really is-but who she needs to become.But is it too late....
