Diana Hamilton, a highly successful architect with a celebrity clientele, suddenly loses her relationship, career, and professional reputation. She struggles to figure out what went wrong. Her two best friends, Ronnie and Mandy, challenge her to a bet which involves some hard core lessons on becoming a team player.
To win the wager, Diana assumes a new identity as Janie Henry and lands a job as a project manager at a small firm outside of Boston. Little does Janie know she has found her perfect match in Patrick Nolan, a divorced father with a beautiful six-year-old daughter, Garland. Her new boss is smart and sexy with a famous ex. The lies multiply far too quickly as Janie finds herself immersed in Patrick’s world.
When Garland is diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes*, Janie immediately steps in making a clever scrapbook filled with positive messages and information. In her unselfish desire to help, Janie experiences the power of unconditional love . . . until her true identity is revealed.
Patrick and his family despise her for the charade. Can Diana Hamilton become a person worthy of her own self-respect?

BOSTON FOUND was a joy to write. The transformation of Diana Hamilton from high powered New York architect to a successful kinder, gentler woman was intriguing. For the story to work, Diana had to be rough around the edges in the beginning until she changes her priorities. I love that she is flawed and learns from her mistakes. This was also my first attempt at comedy.
