Story Behind The Book

While writing my first book, Coming Home- A Second at Goodbye, I knew that Aunt Ethel and Madison needed their own story. I enjoyed creating the foundation for these two characters and providing the tease at the end of Coming Home- A Second Chance at Goodbye when Anne and Maggie ask Aunt Ethel how long she was going to make Madison wait for her. Madison's backstory was built in Coming Home- A Second Chance at Goodbye, with is ex-wife Liz. Ethel's Song allowed me to develope Liz's character. Aunt Ethel's life had been consumed with caring for family and Ethel's Song provided an opportunity to focus more on Ethel the woman. While Anne and Maggie's story was about new love, Ethel's Song is about mature love and finding the courage to fight for your dreams at any age.
