For ten years, Henrietta McCall turned a deaf ear to her father’s sage advice and now he was gone. And for ten long years, she’s lived in a self-imposed prison. Unwilling to admit that pride cost her the love of her life, she turned to teaching and buried herself in her career. With her dad gone, she’s given up her career to come home and run the family store. Which means she has to face Brad Trimble, the boyfriend she’d spurned years before; the man she still longs for. Is he still carrying a torch for her? Red-haired Hattie isn’t sure if she wants to know.

After a career as a professional musician and educator, Pat Dale turned to the pen to craft more than a dozen novels to date. A native Missourian, the author traveled far and wide before settling near Kansas City to enjoy the scenic beauty of America’s heartland. Pat uses musical rhythms and values to write what some would call poetic prose. Whether romance or suspense is your cup of tea, the author’s endearing and sometimes frightening characters will lead you into worlds you might otherwise never have visited. So sit back, pick up a Pat Dale novel, and whisk yourself into those worlds for a few hours of fantasy.
