About the author
Tess St. John
24 books39 followersI’m not your “normal” writer. I didn’t aspire from a young age to become a writer. My last day of high school, my English teacher said, “There is a book in each of you. Whether it’s a how-to, non-fiction, fiction—find that book.” I thought, right.
My hubby reads a lot, so I began to pick up the books he’d buy—mysteries and thrillers. But he traveled, so I only read while he was in town…too scared to sleep by myself. LOL. Years later, hubby and I planned a trip to an amusement park with the kids, and since I can’t ride roller coasters anymore, I went to B&N and picked up a book. A romance. I read all day and stayed up most of the night to finish the book. After that, I read every romance I could find.
I’d always kept my teacher’s words in the back of my mind, “There is a book in you,” and sat down one day to write a scene that kept playing in my mind. The floodgates on my imagination opened and before I knew what a critique partner was, I’d written four books (I use the word “written” very loosely, they needed a tremendous amount of work).
I never planned it, never dreamed about it, never expected to get such joy from it, but writing has become a vital part of my life.
Being the youngest of five children (my hubby the youngest of seven), much of my writing centers around family and relationships. I thank my parents for their example of how to live a life of love and happiness. And I thank my siblings, in-laws, nephews, nieces, and friends for their constant support and encouragement.
I live near Houston, Texas, with my real-life hero husband (the man is my inspiration each and every day) and our two children—who fill my heart to overflowing. I am blessed beyond belief and tickled to be able to write the stories of my heart.

This is a wonderful, well-written, entertaining, contemporary romance short story with likable, engaging characters and a happily ever after ending. I am looking forward to reading the other entries in Ms. St. John's Danby series with great anticipations.

I enjoyed getting to know Faith and Tyler as they traversed their journey of moving on while grieving. I am not a fan of short stories as I feel cheated of getting to know better the characters I want to spend more time with. However, I did like this one. Would have liked more details as the story progressed but the length of the story prevented that. Overall, nice short story easily read in one sitting.

I love short stories. I found this one to be sad in some places, but yet hopeful. The story was well written you couldn't help but fall in love with the characters. This was the first of the Danby Series, can't wait to read about the other brothers.
