Allie (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781597132305)

After tragically losing her parents at a young age, Allie Rhodes always had a deep yearning to fill the vacancy with a family of her very own. When she met Trent, all her dreams began to fall perfectly into place. Allie was living the very best version of her life. Trent was more than just her husband, he was her best friend. He was family...the very thing she had longed for as far back as she could possibly remember.

Allie thought they had the kind of unbreakable love that most believe only exists in the movies. Unfortunately, time was not on their side. Trent passed away suddenly, and unexpectedly, of a massive heart attack. Although Allie had been no stranger to tragedy, this was more than her fragile heart could cope with.

In the immediate years following Trent's passing, Allie became withdrawn. The only sense of happiness she could find was immersing herself in the memories she shared with Trent. She turned those memories into a lucrative career, authoring best-selling books based on some of her favorite recollections.

Although she had found financial success, every other aspect of her life was fighting just to stay afloat. After seven years of being a recluse, with the help of her friend, she comes to the hard realization that it's time for her to start living in the present. After years of living a solitary life, it's not an easy feat for Allie to get reacquainted with the bustle of things. She is forced to push herself outside of her comfort zone in order to reclaim some semblance of a normal life.

As she navigates her way through old friendships, and through new ones, she must fight to knock down the walls she's built over the years. Slowly but surely, piece by piece, Allie begins to see the light on the other side.

When she begins settling into the new life she's created, once again, tragedy comes rearing its ugly head. This time, even her own safety could be in jeopardy. As she becomes embroiled with the situation, it will test every fiber of her being. Unbeknownst to Allie, everything...and everyone...she thinks she knows is about to come into question.
