Welcome to Falls Village… My body is not something I take pride in or have any desire to work on. For a long time, I didn’t have a reason to care about my looks. I made the decision to be alone, and I stood by that. I’m a single mother that has thrown myself into keeping my family’s store from falling victim to economic hardship. I have good friends and my small town has been supportive of the shop and me, but there’s always been something, or should I say someone missing. I let the only man I’d ever love leave Falls Village years ago. And I kept a secret from him. Upon his retirement and return to town, he promises to turn my world upside down in the most amazing ways. He says he wants to make me realize that I’m more than what people see on the outside. Now, after a taste of what could have been, I don’t want to return to the solitary life I once had. With Falls Village’s revitalization underway, my store is now the gathering place for townspeople. But the changes in me are even more abundant than my shop and they’re all thanks to the man I never expected to see again. But can he forgive me for what I did? Or will my hang-ups cause me to be alone…from then until forever? From Then Until Forever is the third book in the Falls Village Collection. The story of Falls Village begins in Berry’s Compatible Companions Trilogy and will continue throughout the Falls Village Collection.
Author
Kitty Berry grew up an only child who never wished for a sibling in a small town in Connecticut. After graduating with a degree in Early Childhood Special Education, she began teaching in the field and started to raise a family. Her literary influences happened later in life when she stumbled upon The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Shreve after seeing it featured on the Oprah Show. It was her late mother’s (whose name she uses as a pen name) desire of becoming a writer that prompted Kitty to create a contemporary romantic series. Being a creative person by nature who came into writing during a time in her life when the busy balance of career and family made her crave an escape into the world of romance, Kitty took that desire and turned it into a romantic series that offers the reader multidimensional characters. In 2013, she published her first novel from The Stone Series, Sliding. Since then she has written 10 other novels in that series, among them Stoned, Second Chances, Surrender, Starting Over, and Silence. The final installment, Survivor was released in 2016. A holiday edition was released in late 2018. Since then, Berry has released a trilogy titled, The Anatomy of Love and written a carry-over stand-alone novel, Vines of Ivy. In 2019, she released the Compatible Companions Trilogy. Because angst-ridden, plot-driven, women's contemporary romances mesmerize Kitty, Berry writes only in that genre. While each book in The Stone Series can stand alone with its own story, Berry’s intention was to create carry-over characters to satisfy the need of the reader to know more after each novel ends. As an avid reader herself, Kitty enjoys the feeling of being there with the characters inside the story and often finds herself wanting to know more about them, missing them when the story is over, and becoming excited all over again when she discovers those familiar characters in subsequent novels. It is her hope that The Stone Series will do the same for her readers. Kitty is married to a man she met in graduate school and has three boys who are almost men. Kitty recently founded RomantiConn (a romance author signing event annually held in CT) and is currently working on the Falls Village anthology hybrid with her fellow RomantiConn authors.
