Book Description
What if you were given the chance to rekindle the flame with your first love? What happened to all those girls who were mean to you in school? Should Hannah Jensen take the chance of attending her high school reunion to find out?
Hannah hasn’t been back to her hometown in more than twenty years. Now, a widow, raising a teenaged daughter, she has the opportunity to go home for her twenty-fifth high school reunion. The invitation to the reunion stirs up a lot of old memories at the same time she is dealing with loneliness, the challenges of single-parenting a teenager, people who
want to “set her up” with eligible men, her own insecurities, and her eccentric family.
The story interweaves the present with scenes from Hannah’s past and her fantasy of “happily ever after” with her high school boyfriend in a humorous and entertaining manner. Her feelings from being “shunned” by the cool kids resurface as she reflects back on her time as a teenager. There are several roadblocks on Hannah’s journey from a teenager through her present. The growing pains and amusing situations in which she finds herself are ones to which we all can relate. As she walks the path of self-discovery, she also discovers the most important life lesson of all–her relationship to God.

Author Interview
If you’re a mom writer, how do you balance your time?
My youngest son is 15 so I typically write while he is in school or when he’s doing his own thing in the evenings.
Favorite travel spot?
Anywhere with a beach
Any hidden talents? I’m really good at Wheel of Fortune. And I can draw blood from a parakeet. I can also recite all the books of the Bible in order. One never knows when those skills are going to come in handy.
Favorite dessert?
Chocolate. When life gives you lemons, throw it back and ask for chocolate.
If you were stuck on a deserted island, which 3 books would you want with you?
The Bible, Gone with the Wind, and some type of daily devotional such as Guideposts’ “All Creatures”
What’s the most courageous thing you’ve ever done?
My husband and I quit our jobs and moved to Indonesia to be missionaries.
Name a quirky thing you like to do.
I am a coupon queen. If I can save ten cents off something, I am ecstatic.
