Welcome back to Fortune Bay.Spoiler Alert Be sure to read The Good Neighbor before reading this novella Hi Everyone When I finished writing Home for Christmas, Louise and Blue's story, I sat back and thought about where everyone in Fortune Bay was in their lives at this point. Louise and Blue were fine, but what about Frankie and Sean? By spring, it had been five months since they found Amber-or rather, since she found Sean. Now he and Amber were still living with his mom Stephanie, and Frankie was living alone-not the best situation for Sean and Frankie - or for Stephanie and Max And what about Amber? It was hard to believe everything was just smooth sailing for her after such a huge upheaval in her life.If you haven't read the other books, do yourself a favor and put this book aside until you have.Then I hope you enjoy Family Matters as much as I enjoyed writing it Judith Hudsonwww.JudithHudsonAuthor.com
