About the Book

What happens when you look death in the face and everything you've believed about yourself is exploded like a sudden clap of thunder? Laura Young thought her problem was solved when she signed those adoption papers, but life rarely goes as planned. As she struggles toward her own recovery, she gets the chance to change her mind and keep her daughter. Strange dreams, a secret admirer, and unimaginable ugliness swirl around her family. With faith and sage words from her Gran, Laura struggles forward, but does she have the courage to face the smoke screens she's hidden behind all her life? Most importantly can she face the love she's alternately denying and fleeing? Laura's plight will sometimes make you cry, sometimes laugh, and frequently make you want to reach through the pages and just shake her. In the end, I believe you'll feel like one of the family.
About the Author: Patricia "Patsu" (Yost) Longley has been writing short stories and poetry since high school. Not until retiring in 2005 did the luxury of time enable her to write more seriously. Mrs Longley is a Pacific Northwest native who graduated from Edmonds Senior High. She has also lived in Lake Charles, LA; Dallas, Garland, and Wichita Falls, Texas; and Coeur d'Alene, ID but always returns to her beloved Pacific Northwest roots. She is the proud mother of a daughter and four sons, proud grandmother of fifteen, and great-grandmother of seven, so far. Her father was from a large historic Edmonds family and, she's woven many of those ties and values into her writing. Over the years she's worked in hospitals as a CNA in newborn and critical care nurseries, and on obstetrical floors. She started at Seattle's Children's Hospital in 1962. She's also worked retail and was very active with several organizations: La Leche League International, Seattle Genealogy Society, and is or has been a member of UFO, ACFA, and TICA (cat associations) and occasionally still judges cat shows.
