Painted Memories — Loni Flowers

I've come to realize how much life can change with circumstance. One moment I was a happy sixteen year old girl with a great brother, Jesse, who I adored. Then Jesse died. No matter how much I wished it had been me in the accident, wishing will never change what happened. Five years later, my father's eyes are still filled with hate and regret whenever he looks at me. I haven't forgotten my mistake, but I've accepted it. My father has not. He may always see me as a failure, but I'm determined to make a fresh start in a new town where love promises to be more generous than the scorn I've left in my father's eyes. With any luck, maybe some distance will make him see me as his daughter again. Until then I'll find my own way. Painted Memories is an original, contemporary romance about love, loss, and recovering from tragedy. Its characters are real. Between humor and heartbreak, it's funny, touching, and full of redemption.
