Blended Bonds: In a garden of second chances, love always takes root. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798297584068)

A family rebuilt. A daughter torn in two. A choice that will change everything.

After her parents' bitter divorce, sixteen-year-old Ava is caught in the middle-living between two homes, two loyalties, and two very different versions of love. When her mom marries Tessa, a kind but cautious stepmother, Ava is pulled toward a new life she didn't ask for.

Her dad, Derek, isn't ready to let go. His subtle guilt and unexpected visits keep Ava tethered to his pain. As tensions grow, Ava faces a choice: keep sacrificing her own peace to keep the peace... or risk breaking the bond with her father to save herself.

Told through the intertwined voices of Ava, Claire, and Tessa, Blended Bonds is a moving portrait of a modern family learning to bend without breaking. With moments of heartbreak, humor, and hope, this is a story about speaking your truth, making room for love, and planting roots in unexpected soil.

Perfect for fans of contemporary family dramas and heartfelt coming-of-age stories.
