The Warrior (30 page)

The heroine is estranged from her father, and during the course of the story, she
has to forge a new relationship with the man she can barely stand to talk to, let
alone call “Daddy.” Unlike my father, Jocelyn’s dad can’t share his memories, because
Alzheimer’s has wiped the slate clean. And in their case, that’s both a blessing and
a curse. Circumstances give Jocelyn a second chance with her father—something many
of us never have once we’ve shared that last sunset.

I hope readers connect with Jocelyn, a strong heroine who has to conquer a difficult
past, and fall in love with the catcher-turned-carpenter hero, Will. I also hope readers
appreciate how hard the characters have worked to keep Barefoot Bay natural and unspoiled,
unlike the beach that inspired the setting. But most of all, I hope BAREFOOT IN THE
RAIN reminds every reader of a special love for her father, no matter where he is.
