Lost and Found — Donna B. McNicol / D.B. McNicol

[short story] Sarah is barely making it as a divorced, single mom in Chicago when her parents offer her a chance to move back to her rural hometown of Baxter Springs, Kansas. She looks forward getting back to a simpler lifestyle but her eight year old son, Brian, thinks differently.

Sarah wonders if she made the right decision when Brian goes missing. Should they have stayed in the city where she knew the dangers?

NOW AVAILABLE:
In response to my readers, this short story has become the prequel to a new book, Home Again, now available on Amazon.

Synopsis: Now that Sarah and Brian have decided to stay in Baxter Springs, they have to forget some of their big city ways that might set them apart from new hometown. No city buses, no big movie cinemas, no street lights and no 911 service. Sarah worries that Brian will grow bored and get into trouble but she has her own worries, like finding a job to support them. There isn't much call for more waitresses in a town with one diner and a coffee shop. How will she support them so they can stay here in her home town?

Then there is the hunky sheriff who's also new to town, Carl Pierce, who seems to be quite interested in learning more about Sarah and her son.

A contemporary romance for everyone to enjoy.
