About the author

Carey Anderson

34 books51 followers
Carey Anderson was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she currently resides. Carey comes from a large family, which is often reflected in the world she created with multiple multi-dimensional characters. Her current passion is African American Romantic Fiction; one day she will add romantic suspense, and children’s books to her resume.
Carey began the Wallace Family Saga as a doodle on her cell phone. Within five years that doodle turned into a complete sixteen book series (most of which can be read as standalone books). The series spans over fifty years into the lives of the Wallace and Latour family story that came to a climatic end when the finale was released in February 2018.
During this time Carey also managed to write a couple of true standalones to provide new readers with a sample of her writing style. Especially for the reader who doesn’t have the time to invest in her saga right away.
Carey would like to thank you for taking the time to get to know her better. Hopefully you’ve found a character within Carey’s world that resonates with you so much that you may actually feel she somehow wrote about you or someone you know.

Sweet

What a we'll written love story. It was so simple, yet so meaningful. Sometimes we are given second chances to find, rekindle, or create love. Beautiful story

This story was such a refreshing read. I'm not much of a romance reader but I look forward to reading more of the author's work. The characters were so relatable and it truly painted real life situations. Definitely a great read

Another chance at lovr

I enjoyed this story, it kind of mirrors my own story. The only thing that I didn't like is how the author jumped from looking at dresses to the reception.
Overall, it was a good story.

This was such a great read. I loved how they got a second chance at love because they both deserved it. I’m glad she decided not to run away when times were hard in the beginning. I didn’t like how her mom constantly talked down on her and her sister but in the end they were able to stand up to her and worked it out.
