Unfathomable: When the world shatters, how do you go on?

by Jean Baxter

From the day Michael Jarrid runs Annie Brekke off the ski trail, her feisty rebuke catches his attention and eventually captures his heart. Despite coming from very different backgrounds, his blue collar Wisconsin and hers Manhattan silver spoon, they just belong together.

They plan a wedding for as soon as he graduates college, and Annie wants to start a family right away. Mike thinks it would be more prudent to wait until he is established in his career, but she has a way of using her charms and pout to get her way.

What should be the happiest time in their lives goes horribly wrong. Mike ends up planning a funeral and faces raising a newborn as a single parent. He didn't sign up for this!

How can a heart so shattered keep beating? How?

About the author

Jean Baxter lives in northeastern Wisconsin. As a single mom, she white-knuckled it through the adolescent years of her two kids. She found it to be a time fraught with angst and drama. She credits those experiences for her love of writing for that age group. A career as a nurse makes her background ripe with real life scenarios. Along with her obsession for writing, she adores her four grandchildren (more fodder for her stories), gardening, traveling, and wonderful friends. She is a member of Green Bay Area Writer's Guild and Wisconsin Writer's Association.
