When The Sun Goes Down (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781540772084)

When four-year-old Loren Mages loses her father, Roger, in a terrible car crash, her mother, JoHanna, makes an impetuous promise: "From now on, it will be the two of us, always!"

For the next four years, JoHanna stays true to the promise she made in her grief even though she's had cause to regret her words. She wants to experience love again-to marry and have more children-but the oath she made binds her.

Then Bruce Alexis enters her life, offering JoHanna everything she thinks is missing. When he proposes, JoHanna accepts wholeheartedly, despite Loren's immediate hatred of her new stepfather and the concerns of JoHanna's own mother.

Is Loren simply acting out, angry that her mother broke their sacred promise? Or does the young girl sense something sinister in Bruce? If Loren's instincts are right, JoHanna will have cause to regret breaking the promise she made the day Roger died.

A poignant, often sad story of a mother's promise and a daughter's love, When the Sun Goes Down explores love, regret, and the deep family ties that transcend death itself.
