We can all relate to something that happened to us as a child that followed us into adulthood. For some, the experience becomes the driving force in their life, and that is the premise for Come to the Edge . For eight-year-old Carmen Ibarra, the event was the slaying of her family in their own home in Arizona. She vows never to let another person harm her, and takes extraordinary steps to become a strong, brave, and independent adult. Her personal goal of self-protection, however, creates a self-imposed barrier to relationships. Brody Cavanaugh is a rich-but-troubled man who decides to take control of his own life by running away from California, his father's expectations, and the painful memory of a failed relationship. On a whim, he travels to Washington State to find his own path. Set in the backdrop of the Yakima Valley wine country, Carmen and Brody find strength in unity as they come to edge of their own fears and overcome the ghosts from their past.

If you enjoy an easy, romantic read with a strong female lead that is laced with some mystery, this novella is for you.
