Book Description
Jennifer must
do the impossible bring her mother home. When a family is torn apart by
death, two sisters take violently divergent paths and the story of
their family appears to end terribly and abruptly. Two decades later
Jennifer never dreams that the photo she finds stuck between the pages
of a neglected book will tear open a gaping wound to her mothers secret
past. Abandoning her comfortable life with her parents and best friend
in the wheat fields of Nebraska, Jennifer's quest for a hidden aunt leads
her to the untamed coast of Maine where she struggles to understand why
her mother lied to her for sixteen years.
Across
the grey, rocky cove she meets Nathan Moore, the young, reluctant
genius surrounded by women who need him to be brother, father, friend,
provider, protector and now, first love. The stories, varied, hilarious,
and heartbreaking, unfold to paint a striking mural of the shattered
past. As Jennifer seeks to piece together her mothers story, she
inadvertently writes one for herself.
About the Author
Regina Sirois is 90% reader and 10% writer, and as such, her loyalty
lies with readers. She believes a book should do more than mildly
entertain- it should change us. She graduated summa cum laude from
Missouri State's Department of History and English and settled in the
golden wheat fields of Kansas with her High School love. She is
currently doing laundry (probably) and raising her two daughters. She
fell in love the day she learned to read and cried the first time she
did a word problem in math ("But it's not a problem..." sob, sob. "It's a
story!"). In her debut novel, "On Little Wings," Regina Sirois holds
nothing back as she dares to make us believe.
