Description

What if you got another chance at the life that got away?

In an emotional story brimming with wry humor, New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery pens a heartwarming tale of love, family, and a woman's journey of discovery.

L.A. accountant Megan Greene has a successful job, a handsome cardiologist fiancé, and a doting father. Surely they make up for her estranged sister and hypochondriac mother...and a niggling sense that something, somewhere, got lost along the way. But then Megan's life falls spectacularly apart. Faced with the knowledge that neither her father nor her fiancé are the men she thought they were, she is loath to trust Travis -- the high school boyfriend who never quite left her heart. But his reappearance stirs dreams she once reluctantly packed away, and forces her to confront her relationship with her sister -- a bond that has been strained to the limit but has never quite broken. And amid the turmoil lies the promise of a future Megan never expected -- one that may turn out to contain everything she really needs....

How did you come to write this book?

I am, I confess, a serious reality TV junkie. One of my favorites is Project Runway. All that talent, to be able to create something beautiful from nothing. I knew those designers inspired me, but I couldn't figure out how to fit it in a book. I am, by nature, totally lacking in any "craft" ability.



One day I was thinking about why people do what they do. About decisions and consequences, and about how much I love the Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Santa Monica, California. (I was driving to Starbucks at the time--I get many of my best ideas on the way to or from my morning latte fix.)



Suddenly Megan, my heroine popped into my head. She'd made seemingly smart choices, only everything in her life had fallen spectacularly apart. I knew I wanted her to have an insane family, because they're my favorite kind to write about. And I want her to have to deal with lost dreams.
