East of Eden - Softcover

Regret is a formidable foe. Eden Kelley is the primary caregiver for her mother who’s in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease, and she’s only twenty-four. Not what Eden planned to do when she left her husband for a new start with her four-year-old daughter in tow. She’d hoped for free babysitting, but instead she found a mystery. The discovery of an erroneous marriage document leads to more questions that Eden’s mother can't answer because she doesn’t remember. Her mother’s antics drive her crazy, but Eden is determined to make the best of her situation, and that includes finding the exciting romance she’s dreamed about. But when trouble knocks, it’s her husband Cade who arrives to help. It’s awkward and tense. And Eden comes to one sure conclusion: leaving her handsome, caring husband was a huge mistake. Her parents had a second chance at love. Would she and Cade get one, too?
