Résumé

Shannon isn't looking for love. Love finds her in the form of Nate Stanley, a graduate student teaching assistant in her archaeology class at a San Diego university. But Nate begins to draw back, telling her, "No, this is wrong. It's not fair to you." Troubled over their on-again, off-again romance, Shannon discovers the truth the night Nate introduces her to his friends. A beautiful young woman enters the room, walking straight into his arms.
"This is my friend, Tally, " Nate tells his friends. But Tally corrects him. "I'm more than that. I'm your fiancé."Tally suffers from addiction, mental illness and deep jealousy. When her father, Nate's mentor, was dying, Nate promised him he'd marry Tally and always take care of her. He now tells Shannon he loves her, promising to break his engagement to Tally. But fate and misplaced loyalty get in the way.
Tally is hospitalized after Nate tells her about Shannon. He tells Shannon he can't abandon her now. Hearing this, Shannon can't find the words to tell Nate she's pregnant with their child. They drift apart. Twenty years pass. Shannon raises their son, Daniel, as a single mom, telling him his father died after he was born. But Nate comes back into their lives as a visiting professor at a university in Seattle, where Daniel is about to graduate.
Will their love be rekindled? Shannon gave up the love of her life for the love of her son, which she now loses when he discovers the truth about his dad. Nate sacrificed his love for Shannon to keep a promise to a dying man. It takes a heart-wrenching tragedy to bring the family together.

Biographie de Karen Truesdell Riehl

Karen Truesdell Riehl's writing achievements are remarkable, given the award-winning author's lifelong battle with dyslexia. She was unable to read until the age of ten. Her published works now include a 2015 San Diego Book Awards winner, Helga: Growing Up in Hitler's Germany. Her other books include a memoir, Love and Madness: My Private Years with George C. Scott, telling of her 30-year hidden liaison with the international film star, six novels, eight plays and a radio comedy series, The Quibbles, available from ArtAge Publications at http://www.seniortheatre.com/product/the-quibbles-radio-shows/.
Her children's play, Alice in Cyberland, was an award winner in the National Southwest Writers Contest. Helga was an elementary school librarian, a 1948 German immigrant, when the author met her in 1977. Asked about her experience during the war, Helga quietly revealed she had been a "Jugend, " a member of Hitler's child army. Ten-year-old Helga was forced to join the Hitler Youth weekly meetings.
Lies and treats were used to build her allegiance to the Fuhrer. As the war drew nearer to her home in Berlin, Helga was sent away to a Youth Training Camp. Her slow disillusionment and harrowing escape home, is a coming-of-age story of a young girl's survival of Nazi mind control. Helga: Growing Up in Hitler's Germany was a 2015 San Diego Book Awards winner. In the romance novel, Hello Again, a finalist in the 2015 San Diego Book Awards, Shannon Taggert falls in love with Nate, a graduate student teaching assistant.

The Ghosts of Fort Ord was inspired by the author's month-long stay near the remains of the abandoned military base.

Saturday Night Dance Club, was inspired by a true story of four couples, from the 1900's to 1930's, touched by the Great War, organized crime, the Depression and the threat of another war, finding sanctuary in their weekly dance club.
