Annie Morris is the director of an animal shelter, an avid runner, and a woman who hasn't had a decent night's sleep in years. She meets a man who may be able to help get rid of her nightmares, but to finally move forward, she needs to find the path between the secrets of her old life and her dreams for the future.
Allison O'Shea has been writing stories, poetry, and plays from a young age, and has always been an avid reader. Her deep love of books led her family to have a "no reading at the table" rule to make sure she would stop reading long enough to participate in the dinner conversation!
In 2017, she self-published her first novel, 'Big Sky Heart', and has added an additional five books since. She writes women's fiction and contemporary romance, focusing on the personal, emotional journeys women encounter on their way towards finding love.
If you're looking for stories with a supernatural twist, you might enjoy the Layna Wood series, beginning with 'Petrified Wood'. This series follows country singer Layna as she balances a career and the interest of a hunky cop, all while discovering and managing powers within herself that she'd never known.
For stories focused on women working through personal struggles on their way towards finding love, you should check out 'A Path Between Dreams', which follows the director of a dog shelter who can't seem to fully escape the nightmares of her past. 'Big Sky Heart' is another emotional story about Emma Ward, a woman trying to find the courage to follow her dreams.
Annie was happily married to Sam, until he left. She has nightmares about him still. She has good friends and a great job, but doesn't socialize much, and never dates. Until she meets Jack. For the first time since Sam, she begins to see a future. This is an incredibly beautiful and moving story. Annie and Jack are amazing together. I really like that he senses that Annie is having trouble moving forward, and never rushes her. Annie has truly wonderful friends. She's smart and motivated, and wears her heart on her sleeve. Maddy (the dog) is a key to Annie finding trust again.

I enjoy the way that Allison tells a story. This one stole my heart, I'm a bit biased towards cattle dogs, but it was Annie who had me shedding a tear. I liked all the characters in this story and I hope Allison writes a few more stories with them in them.
