Synopsis:
This is the tale of first and last loves. And those that come
in between…
Jack Harrison is a relentless overachiever who
leaves little in the way of compromise. A businessman to the core—he's
hell-bent on being at the top of the food chain. After all, no one can trip you
up if you’re on top, as he likes to say. The problem for Jack is there’s only
one thing that continually trips him up—and that’s her.
Amelie Rose, with a name like poetry and a heart
of gold, as her father always said, is a free-spirited photographer who has
managed to land a job at one of the top travel magazines in the world. This is
both a blessing and a curse since Amelie never stays in one place for long and
has refused to commit to anything—ever.
It might seem to the casual observer that these
two have almost nothing in common. But fate would disagree. The story
chronicles Jack and Amelie’s lives from childhood into adulthood, beginning when
they meet as then eight- and ten-year-olds at summer camp specifically designed
for children who’ve lost too much.
As fate steps in, and that first summer seals
the deal, they come to depend on each other in ways neither of them expected,
with each summer bringing them closer than the last. As they come to terms with
life and loss, with hanging on and letting go, they’ll teach each other that
some bonds are meant to last. Together, they will travel the world, meeting in
various places where they’ll come together, and fall apart, all the while
struggling to discern if the other could possibly be the one.
This unlikely love story takes us on an
adventure where two people come of age, fall in and out of love, and question
the role timing plays in it all.
Their story is proof that neither time nor
distance—perhaps not even death—can destroy what love creates.
So it seems the only question left to ask is
whether love is enough?
*For mature audiences.*
Excerpt :
Jack climbed out of bed,
showered, and dressed. This was a bad idea. He hated carnivals. As they
rode the elevator down, she didn’t take her eyes off him. “Humor me, Jack,” She
said as she reached for his hand and they stepped out into the night air.
At the carnival, Amelie insisted on purchasing corn
dogs, cotton candy, and fried things Jack couldn’t even name. She dragged him
from one end to the other; she forced him on every ride imaginable and she made
sure to capture Jack in all his glory on film. On the tilt-a-whirl they
couldn’t resist first base. In the fun house, he hit second. On the Ferris
wheel they worked towards perfection, learning how the other liked to be
kissed—which Amelie practically turned into an Olympic sport— complete with
scoring and all. On The Zipper she urged him towards third. And Jack humored
her.
He couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was; the
lights, the smells or the sounds but Amelie was in her element there. She came
alive, more alive than he’d ever seen her. That was Amelie: Colorful, exiting,
and a bit crazy. From then on Jack would always think of her like a carnival,
minus the bad parts. She would sweep into town and bring with her all the
excitement one could handle. You’d have the time of your life while she was there.
Inevitably though she would go and with her a little piece of yourself, part of
your joy. But there would always be next year, you’d convince yourself. And
that was that. Jack hated carnivals. They were too risky, he said. This
one, however, wasn’t so bad. Unfortunately, for Jack, there would be other
carnivals in his future. But there would never be one that came even remotely
close to comparing to the one that night. Little did he know then, that he
would spend the rest of his life chasing that feeling.
Author Bio:
For those of you
who prefer it straight up, no chaser: Mama to five. Lover of Life. Writer.
Juggler extraordinaire. That just about covers it…
The extended
version and in third person no less : Britney is married to a man
she adores (when he isn’t driving her crazy) and is the mother of FIVE amazing
kids, who (surprise!) also have a habit of driving her crazy, her best guess is
that it’s genetic. In addition, she founded a local network for women in 2012,
which has grown to almost 800 members. Currently, she occupies a job she loves-
serving and running Austin Women’s Network. To further prove that she may in
fact be certifiably insane, she decided to publish her debut novel
entitled, Bedrock in May of 2013. Then and only then, could
she consider her training to be an expert (life) juggler complete.
In her free time,
you might find Britney running, reading, or spending time utilizing the
wonderful venues that make her city great.
