INHERITING EVERGREEN - The Story Behind The Story I started writing this book five years ago when my husband and I were going through a very difficult time in our lives. I wrote about 15 pages and stopped, because the story stumped me. I couldnt get past a certain point. It may have been because of the personal crisis I was going through, but I put it away and never finished it. I didnt write anything for the next few years, while my husband and I were fighting our way out of poverty and coming back from lengthy unemployment and losing our home to foreclosure. I concentrated instead on starting and building my new business. When the writing bug bit again, I attempted some new genres for me - romantic comedy and historical western mystery. Both fell flat with readers, while my old WWII romance novels that Id written 10 years ago were still popular and kept earning royalties. I didnt want to revisit those stories, or to write in that genre again, but I did re-read them for the first time in years and finally realized why readers liked them so much. I went back to Evergreen, changed the whole premise and plot of the story and was finally able to finish it. Readers of my WWII romance novels will recognize that my heroine Kristy Miller is the granddaughter of my characters from A Soldiers Love and Gold Star Wife. The book is not strictly a romance, although thats part of the story. Theres also maybe, possibly a ghost or two hanging around Evergreen. Youll have to read the story to find out the answer that question. But ultimately, the story is really about family relationships, and the message is simple. Be kind to that crazy old aunt you have, because you never know what kind of secrets shes keeping. https://smashwords/books/view/377447
