Emma Fleming is returning home to Georgia after a seventeen year absence. She is putting her skyrocketing career on hold to sit with her dying mother, the same woman who was responsible for Emma’s child being taken away from her eighteen years earlier. Emma is determined to put the sins of her family’s past behind her in order to grant her mother’s last wish to have her long-lost daughter back in the Fleming home. On her first day back in Jesup, she meets a handsome retired police detective Kel Walsh, who is open about his interest in Emma, but not much else. Emma has the unsettling feeling he is keeping secrets from her, but she finds spending time with him a welcome escape from her own complicated family. Kel is also investigating the cold case murder of a young teen, Kayla Gordon, who was strangled to death in Jesup by an unknown assailant. As Emma navigates the turbulent emotions surrounding the traumatic events in the Fleming house nearly two decades earlier, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Kel, unaware his investigation of Kayla Gordon will reveal deeper secrets of Jesup and the Fleming family than Emma may be prepared to accept.
Being the only girl in her family, in fact the first female born into her father's family in sixty-five years, Sandy found escape from Matchbox cars, smelly bathrooms, and a general disdain for anything feminine, in books. Eventually the characters in her own head, clamoring to get out, found their way to paper. "Wait for Me" is her first novel and represents her love of history, romance, and a touch of paranormal.
In her real life, Sandy works as a speech language pathologist and moved to her dream town in Florida from the Midwest with her husband, two sons, and spoiled dog. She dreams in full length movies and tries her best to find quiet times to get them onto paper.
