A selfish birthday wish. An undeserved new life. A tragic lesson. An important final prayer.
Is the grass ever greener on the other side? Raelynn asks herself that….and then spends months trying to figure out how to take it back.
Raelynn is a successful dietician. She is a hard-working mother of two girls, and is married to Kevin, an equally hard-working man who is a loyal and devoted husband and father. On the surface, their fourteen-year marriage looks fine, until Kevin’s father accidentally sets fire to his workshop, and the family is faced with unexpected trauma.
Suddenly under a microscope, Raelynn sees Kevin as emotionally unavailable among other subpar labels, and in her eyes, her marriage becomes that which would be favorable only to a money-hungry therapist. What’s worse is that her dearest friends seem to be reveling in above-average relationships, namely her best friend, whom Raelynn has envied for as long as she can remember.
After Raelynn makes a birthday wish, seemingly tying a knot at the end of her rope, in a desperate plight to wish herself out of her misery and alienation, she realizes the next morning that she should have been more careful with what she wished for.
In a heartbreaking and triumphant tale, ‘It’s Not the Flowers’ is a unique look at long-term relationships, something that we all tend to do at one time or another when placed in one. Based on a true story, the author gives readers a very personal glance at a part of her life that had such an impact and was so pivotal, that it has changed the course of the author’s marriage forever, and therefore it was worth telling in this original way. This book is a standalone novel and is the final instalment in the ‘Magic at Cog Hill’ series. All the books in this series can be read in any order. Pick up your copy today!
