SOUTHERN BLEND is a new kind of romance about two broken hearts struggling to bring their life, families and dreams together. Rachel Allan was perfectly content with her life. She was a hard working, single mom who was healing from her divorce and raising her three daughters when she met the man who would change her small country-girl-world forever. Troy Keyton is America's number one country star and also raising three daughters by himself after the death of his wife/business manager. Rachel and Troy are introduced by mutual friends and drawn together through the healing work Rachel does in the lives of children and families. After meeting the famous country singer, Rachel's life became a surreal blend of the impossible and reality. Her new relationship blooms with love, life struggles, and healing as she has to decide where she wants to go and what she must overcome to get there. SOUTHERN BLEND is the story of Troy and Rachel, their meeting, their struggles in bringing their lives and families together. It includes many of their firsts, from first dates to first kiss, their wedding and their first year together. It also lays the groundwork for the deeper story of how they both overcome their own childhood abuse and go on to adopt two boys who have been also been abused. FROM THE INSIDE OUT is a stand alone story that will explore the inner world of hurt children and the adults who live to help them.
