EVERYONE SHE LOVED is just out in paperback, so if you've been waiting, now is the time.
Sheila has more to celebrate than her latest release. Read all about it on her blog and be totally inspired.
Here's a peak at the origins of the book.
Books are born in strange places. Sheila Curran’s latest was conceived in the front seat of a car while her friend drove and their daughters chatted in the backseat. The women were discussing an article Curran had written about two young girls whose parents had died within months of each other.
While talking about the tragedy, Curran realized that choosing the perfect guardian for her kids—one that would raise them as she would--would be next to impossible. Even tougher to swallow would be the possibility that if she died first, her husband might marry someone awful, and then she’d have no control at all. Unless, she mused, she could get him to agree that if he remarried, her sisters and friends would have to agree to his choice of bride, just to prevent some wicked stepmother from moving in.
You can get a sneak preview of the book here in the first chapter. I guarantee if you read it, you'll want to finish it!
I don't know a mother who hasn't thought about these things. Can keep you up at night, actually, if you lean toward the neurotic as I do....
The author of Diana Lively Is Falling Down, Sheila Curran lives in Tallahassee, Florida, with her husband and children.
After you read the book, tell me what you think!
