Lynne Devane is at the top of a modeling career. Under the alluring
name of A’Lynne, she graces the cover of Sports Illustrated.
This opportunity is the fuel needed to skyrocket her career, but the
fame and glamour have lost their appeal. She makes a career-altering
decision to walk away from all that she has worked so hard to achieve.
The decision leaves her agent stunned; he is questioning why someone
could make it to the top and then throw it all away.
Lynne begins to rebuild her life in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, figuring
that the location is far enough away from her old life that she
will not be recognized with a new hair style and very little makeup.
The apartment she moves into is the perfect start of her new life.
As she is unpacking her many boxes she hears a crash followed by
a loud groan. She rushes to the door and see that the boxes she
haphazardly left in the hall have caused her new neighbor to trip.
She quickly apologizes, but he doesn’t seem to be willing to accept.
As he walks away, there is something that doesn’t seem quite right,
but she can’t be sure what it could be.
Brendan Reilly was blinded in a freak college accident, but refused
to let his disability stand in the way of his becoming a lawyer.
His clumsy meeting with his new neighbor embarrasses him. His pride
wounded, he walks away, though he can hear the regret in her voice.
He barricades himself in his apartment, but a few hours later hears
a knock on his door. When he goes to answer, he smells the tantalizing
scent of fresh cookies and Lynne. Her generosity and effort at forgivingness
touches his heart. Though his eyes cannot see, he can distinguish
a woman who piques his interest.
Anne Marie Winston has written one outstanding novel! Holiday
Confessions is the type of book that you literally can not put
down. This author's talent shines through each memorable page. Her
characters are so well-developed you question whether you are reading
fact or fiction. This is by far one of the best books to feature
a disabled character I have yet to read in 2006.
Very highly recommended.
