She earned a PhD, built a career, and held her marriage together with determination and stubborn denial. When her life publicly unravels, Hope returns to her hometown in Texas, and the loud, loving, opinionated family who never quite understood her. Surrounded by her four sisters, who make everything bigger, messier, and usually a public spectacle, she expects the chaos, the old grudges, and small-town rivalries that always seem to involve toilet paper and bail money. What she doesn’t expect is Juneβ€”her wild, fearless sister, who has spent a decade giving cancer the middle finger. But you can only run from the devil for so long, and what’s coming for June may be the thing Hope’s family can’t survive. Told with sharp humor, messy love, and the kind of honesty that sneaks up and wrecks you, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 π‘Ίπ’–π’Žπ’Žπ’†π’“ 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 π‘ͺπ’‰π’‚π’π’ˆπ’†π’… 𝑼𝒔 is a deeply moving, laugh-through-the-tears story about sisters, second chances, and what it really means to show up when it matters most.

I'm a born and raised Texas girl and am the multiple award-winning author of The Brides on the Run seriesβ€”a fun, sexy, snarky, laugh-out-loud good time. If you don’t snort with laughter, then I haven’t done my job. I'm also a wife, mother, and an actress/comedian. I used to think I could sing until someone paid me to stop. I took their money and kept on singing. I love my family, all things Outlander, and puppies make me stupid happy. I can be found on Sundays during football season watching my beloved Houston Texans and trying not to let them break my heart.
