Fifteen-year-old Candy Chancellor must choose between holding onto yesterday’s pain or the hope of tomorrow. When her father is tragically killed weeks before her baby brother is expected, Candy is tossed from being a happy home schooled girl to the new girl at Christian school- with a seat in front of her new best enemy. Now that her grieving mother is unable to provide any true support, Candy relies on the help of two of her new friends from school, an old friend of the family, and tries to find God in the midst of it all.
Real estate tycoon Leslie Chancellor must make a choice between life or death and this time she doesn’t have her husband to help her. When Robert Chancellor is tragically killed, Leslie spirals into a deep darkness she can’t escape. Now that Candy is chasing her dreams of being a super star, Leslie must rely on an old family friend, a kind colleague, and new friend she didn’t plan on meeting.
Book Excerpt
“No worries, my love.” Daddy shot me a knowing smile. Mom’s planning had kicked into overdrive. “And no major night out plans until after the baby. Chris will understand. I think it’s about time we get a full-time chef for you anyway, and not just add to the maid’s duties. Maybe, just maybe, it’s finally time for you to take a break from the office too?”
Mom smiled at us both and placed a hand on her round stomach. “I’ll take a break soon! I’ll be done with the project next week, but I love working at the office with you, Rob, you know that. And you know I refuse to have more than a maid. If you hire a full-time chef for me, you’ll eventually say we need a butler, then a second maid, and eventually a chauffeur. I want our house to be a home with just us. But do you mind picking up dinner for us? I don’t think I can make pasta salad tonight.” Mom slid off her kitten heels, removed her powder-pink blazer, and let down her waist-length hair.
“Of course, my lady, what restaurant?”
“Anywhere without beans. The baby hates them.” Mom cupped her hand and lit a cigarette.
