Echoes of the Heart

By Stacey A. Purcell

GOING UNDER For Dr. Calista Montgomery, losing her soldier husband was like diving into a cold dark sea, and the events at his funeral swept her farther from shore. Crushed by the lies, Cali crawls into a bottle and flees all she knows. Inebriated and drifting aimlessly, she winds up in Esterloch, New York, where she's arrested and hits bottom. Offered a chance to expunge her record, she accepts the conditions...but the real challenge is keeping herself safe from the arrogant, gorgeous and commanding sheriff. FOR THE LAST TIME Sheriff Jack Benfield hates drunks. They're selfish, manipulative, and they break hearts, and his is no exception. He saw the damage inflicted upon his family, so he has no patience for any of them, not even the beautiful Dr. Montgomery. His body, however, has different ideas, and soon two desperate souls will discover that some breaks make us stronger-and sometimes we must drown before we learn how to breathe.

Treat Yourself to an Exceptional Read

After having hit a nasty alcoholic rock-bottom, Calista wakes up in a magical town, Esterloch, whose residents generously share their lives with her. Stacey Purcell develops her characters with such deftness that they become familiar like members of your own family. As just one example, you’ll have eyes wet with tears of laughter as Stacey Purcell’s quirky Judge “Aunt Pookie“ first takes you by surprise and then becomes a friend you respect, admire and cherish. This is a book you will not put down willingly! I fell in love with this town and these people. How wonderful to learn that this book is the first of a series and I can’t wait to read the next one. Stacey Purcell is blessed with the gift of being a master storyteller!
