Teagan's Dad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893084054)

Covering the years of turmoil following the kidnapping and brutal rapes of seventeen-year-old Jane Evers, Teagan's Dad tells of how this event affects everyone around her for years after she escapes. As Jane's mother states, "Jane came home, but I never got my Janey back."

When Jane marries, she and her husband, Colin Brody, leave Ireland with their daughter, Teagan, winding up in Southern California and living across the street from Darci Olsen. The girls grow up as best friends, and both being only children, they consider themselves sisters. Darci watches and listens to Jane throughout her childhood and realizes there is something off about her but has no idea what it could be, until the day Jane shares with both girls what happened to her when she was their age.

After Jane tragically dies, Darci steps up to help her friend and her dad through this difficult time. A few years later, when she is maid of honor in Teagan's wedding, Darci connects with Teagan's dad, Colin, and they feel a spark. How can she navigate feeling something for her best friend's father? What will people think? What will Teagan think? Will Darci and Colin be able to navigate these crazy feelings, having known each other since she was nine? And how will Teagan react to her best friend falling for her father?

Teagan, Darci, and Colin desperately want to find out exactly what happened when Jane was taken as a teen, so they travel back to England and follow the paths that led to Jane's kidnapping, speaking to police and visiting the barn where she was held captive, helping them all to better understand Jane and what she lived through during those nightmarish weeks. They come to realize that life goes on, even after tragedy, and that you can choose to let it control you, or you can make something better of yourself as you conquer the ongoing suffering of the ordeal that was forced upon you.
