This book came about because of my great-aunt Clyde, who family lore credits with being the funniest of us all.  I don’t think a person can have an aunt named Clyde and not wonder what was going on around the family kitchen table at the time.  And then there was my great uncle Louis, who ran bootleg whiskey between Mexico and Texas, a fact I remember my elders being oddly proud of.  My father was a rancher who rode rodeo and my mother went back to school when we were in school to become a teacher. 

These are just some of the personalities in my family, and I have always been intrigued about which parts of them are in me.  I wondered, if I didn’t know these details about my family tree, and if these stories hadn’t filled my consciousness as a child, would I be the person I am today? 

I wrote this book about Jane, an adopted woman who goes in search of her past to inform her present life.  She wants to know who gave her birth, where her unruly hair comes from, and what her ethnicity is.  To Jane, her past is the key that will unlock her future.  But in the course of her search, she meets Asher, a man whose past has made him a prisoner of his present life.  He is isolated and lonely, and as Jane gets closer to discovering who she is, devastating secrets about her past threaten to destroy a future she is only beginning to glimpse.

I hope you enjoy ONE SEASON OF SUNSHINE.  If you like Cedar Springs, you might like SUMMER OF TWO WISHES, which is also set there.  Thank you so much for giving it a try.

Happy Reading,

Julia London
