13 Weeks: A Novella
Sometimes you have to go in order to learn how to stay.
Doran is a traveling nurse. Every thirteen weeks she packs her two bags, her cat, Mr. Pibb, and leaves for her next assignment. Moving from place to place comes naturally to her. Leaving is what she does best.
Paul lives in the house he grew up in. He has deep roots in Erie County. He's as solidly planted as the old elm tree in his backyard.
Can a man with deep roots and a woman who lives life like a leaf on the wind find love?
Reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks, this short novella is packed with emotion as the characters learn to say goodbye and learn what really matters.

Well, my fictional life sounds more interesting, but not better than my real life. Really, I'm the happily married mother of four. I cook a lot, garden and weave baskets! I write for Montlake Romance and Harlequin. My books range from lighthearted comedies to more serious dramas...but at heart, they're all stories of love.

I don't always set out to write a series of books, but seem to find myself gravitating to them. Because so many people have asked, I've posted lists of all my series in order at www.hollyjacobs.com/bookseries.html. I really try to make each story stand alone, but many of my readers enjoy reading the series in order. Hope this helps!
Thank you to everyone who's picked up a single book, or more of them. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by so much support!

Love it!
Perfect Sunday short read. Love the message and the feel good thoughts that stayed after I turned the last page. This author never disappoints, so I expected something wonderful, and this story delivered.

I LOVED this story. Each chapter gave me something to think about. I thought it would be sad, but not at all. It was a growing and learning experience. At the end, I felt joy.

Holly Jacobs' Heart-Warming Novella, October 28, 2015
By
Mary E. Latela
When I look at 13 Weeks: A Novella as a contemporary parable, it is a story about two caring people and how they meet in a difficult time. Doran travels from place to place attending the sick, and Paul is home caring for his mother who is dying. Doran is well-trained and supported in her work, and she knows that she must be professional. As Mary Ann gets worse, the two caregivers spend a little time together - a meal, a talk, etc. But afterward, as Doran prepares to move on to her next assignment, Paul asks to keep in touch. So they meet again as if for the first time, but as friends, and we know that they will fall in love. Sweet romance - the wanderer finds a home? The lonely son meets his soulmate? Now I understand! Holly Jacobs warms the heart once again!
