Tangled Beginnings

Tangled Beginnings - Kimberly Diede

Often the most difficult of choices can lead to the greatest of joys, but what if the stakes feel too high?

Jess is ready for a fresh start. Her twenty-five-year marriage is over, her youngest is heading off to college, and all she wants to do is retreat to Whispering Pines, a place of peace and solitude, to start rebuilding her own life. She's watched her sister Renee make the most of second chances, and now it's her turn.

But when her estranged husband crashes a family gathering, broken and distraught, he asks her to do the unthinkable. His mistakes again threaten to undermine her chance at happiness. She owes him nothing, but this could impact the lives of her whole family.

Long-buried secrets and new accusations tangle together, threatening to ruin reputations and lives. Jess may be the only one who can find out the truth. She feels her fresh start slipping away. Even the tranquility she usually finds at Whispering Pines might not be enough to help her stay true to her own path.

Can she do what her ex asks? Can she protect a dear family member's reputation before it's too late?

Does she even have a choice?

Threaded with romance and mystery and ghosts from the past, this novel is bound to make you fall in love once more with the prospect of life and love and forgiveness.
