when my husband and I were newlyweds, we moved to Texas. We were far from home but the pay at our new jobs was good. And then it wasn't.

Book Excerpt
Summer of the Cricket
Since the beginning of summer, I’d been thinking of leaving Scott. Not that I didn’t love him. I did. But I’d lie awake in the Texas heat, staring into the darkness and hearing Scott’s sleep-breathing and wonder what I was supposed to be doing with my life. During the days, I was so tired by the heat and lack of sleep that I couldn’t come up with answers. Maybe if I had been less distraught with my own problems, I would have been able to help Winnie.
