Redesigning Her
Sometimes, all it takes is for one small thing to change for a life to get turned upside-down. Or maybe right-side up.What starts as a simple DIY project quickly sends Cat hurtling into a hardware store in need of drastic repairs.Under the fluorescent lights and caught within the steady gaze of Matthew McBoy, the ruggedly good-looking store proprietor and reticent handyman, Cat is forced to see that perhaps it’s not just a door that’s broken in her life.Despite his initial reluctance, aided by the help of his adorably meddling grandmother, a wacky scheme to put her cabinetry back together is concocted.With it, Cat finds herself careering down an unexpected and certainly unplanned expedition, involving everything from a ragtag group of elderly Canasta players—whose wisdom is as biting as their wisecracking jokes, to new friends found in unlikely places, through to hidden passions she’d never had the courage to explore before (involving more than just her growing attraction to Matt).Soon enough, an entire restoration project begins…only Cat’s no longer sure it’s simply home renovations anymore.

About the author
Amber Laura
13 books54 followersIt's that twisting pinch of excitement in your stomach when the girl rounds the corner and-your fingers slip quickly to the next page-and there he is. The guy. Her guy. Leaning up against the side of a building, just as though he'd been waiting for her there all along. And, of course, he had been.
It's that chapter when, over one too many glasses of wine, she finally speaks, sharing an intimate story of loss and betrayal; her voice thickens, the words rambling, bumbling over themselves as she tries to sort through a pain she's never let herself share before-and tears swim in your eyes as you read along....
It's that passage when the world shifts before your eyes, replaced by a still, quiet lake in the middle of the Midwest, replete with tall, mossy pines and the scent of sweet-grass; or perhaps it's a bustling side-street in Paris, or powdery sand in a small, pastel-colored coastal town-and you tag along for the journey, without ever leaving home.
It's the scene when friendships are made (and they're real and they are profoundly felt), that love is found, when ordinary lives are explored for all of the extraordinary moments.
It's excavation. Perspective. And, perhaps most important of all, it's creative imagination.
That's why I write. That's what I write.
And always: I write for you.
