About this item

Twelve years of marriage, 4,000 square feet of dream house, and a handsome husband. Jessie Stanton has it all ... until one fateful afternoon when she notices her BMW bouncing by the window behind a tow truck. Her husband has gone, and he's taken it all. The whirling tornado that cuts down the life she's built drops Jessie onto the sandy beach of Malibu with a thud, penniless and alone. When all she's left with are the designer labels in her closet and the dreamy Neil Lane rock on her finger, Jessie tries to make ends meet by pawning her prized ring to fund a new business venture: a small shop where her designer duds and shimmering accessories are temporarily leased out to Southern California women with champagne tastes but root beer realities. As Jessie tries to rebuild, she realizes she can't move on, not without answers.



About the Author

Sandra D. Bricker

Raised as a Cincinnati Kid, Sandie Bricker spent her formative years dreaming about the movies and television shows she would someday write. It came as no surprise to anyone when she packed up her Ford Fiesta and migrated to Los Angeles to study screenwriting. While searching for a way to earn a living and pay her tuition, Sandie stumbled into her own business working as a personal assistant and publicist to some of daytime television's hottest stars. When her mother became ill on the other side of the country, however, Sandie put soap opera clients, film dreams - and Los Angeles - in her rear view mirror to take on a new role: Caregiver.

At her mother's urging, she then channeled her writing dreams from the screen to the page, and a reader favorite was born! "Twenty-seven books later," she said, "I'd say God had another plan for me. The opportunity that comes with combining my Christian faith with publishing platforms is a blessing I never expected and wouldn't trade for anything!"

Sandie Bricker passed away in 2016, but her legacy lives on through her books. She touched many hearts during her time here; she is missed.
