Cover Reveal: Decide to Hope by June A. Converse @rararesources @juneaconverse
Today I am helping in the cover reveal for Decide to Hope written by a fellow Georgian: June A. Converse. I was excited to see that she lives in the same state as I do. Publication date for Decide to Hope is May 11th.
An unimaginable trauma. A future that seems impossible. When your world shatters, how do you put it back together?
For 950 days, Kathleen Conners has struggled with that choice. Behind a scarf and sunglasses, she hides from the world, from herself, from The Event, from any future with anyone.
After receiving a box of letters from his deceased mother, Matt Nelson is shoved from his predictable, controlled life to a secluded beach in North Carolina. While trying to understand his mother’s intent, he discovers Kathleen.
Matt must choose whether to follow the path his mother orchestrated or rescue the woman who has captured his heart. When the only person Kathleen blames more than herself reappears, can Matt be the strength Kathleen needs to create a new life, or will he be forced to walk away if she decides the climb is too great?

First Line Friday #66
Today’s First Line Friday came from Betty over at The Geeky Bibliophile. Her review brought it to my attention and even though she only awarded it three stars, the beginning is one that definitely deserves First Line Friday attention! I am sharing the first few lines today and you will see why in a moment. This novel is short with just 235 pages, it would be a quick read.
The baby is dead. It took only a few seconds. The doctor said he didn’t suffer. The broken body, surrounded by toys, was put inside a gray bag, which they zipped shut. The little girl was still alive when the ambulance arrived. She’d fought like a wild animal.
She has the keys to their apartment. She knows everything. She has embedded herself so deeply in their lives that it now seems impossible to remove her.
When Myriam, a French-Moroccan lawyer, decides to return to work after having children, she and her husband look for the perfect nanny for their two young children. They never dreamed they would find Louise: a quiet, polite, devoted woman who sings to the children, cleans the family’s chic apartment in Paris’s upscale tenth arrondissement, stays late without complaint, and hosts enviable kiddie parties. But as the couple and the nanny become more dependent on one another, jealousy, resentment, and suspicions mount, shattering the idyllic tableau. Building tension with every page, The Perfect Nanny is a compulsive, riveting, bravely observed exploration of power, class, race, domesticity, and motherhood—and the American debut of an immensely talented writer.
Holy crap!!!! I MUST read this one! Thanks for the review Betty! If you want to check out her review it is here.
