From acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller comes a beautifully rendered timeslip novel about the family we create for ourselves...
Madison Bettencourt has tried to assemble all the pieces of a perfect life, but nothing fits quite the way it should. She's moved back home to Montana to care for her grandmother, who is slipping further and further away. And she's called off her wedding, and worries her dreams of a family are fading with it.
As Madison rattles around her family home, childhood memories come flooding back. Bliss Morgan transformed eight-year-old Madison with her loyalty, and for a while, the two girls were as close as can be. But Madison never understood why Bliss suddenly vanished, leaving only a friendship bracelet and a message etched into a matchbook.
Before she can begin again, Madison must uncover what happened to Bliss, and Liam McKettrick—a widowed dad trying to repair his relationship with his two children—becomes her unlikely ally. He, too, understands the pang of regret. Yet there are mysteries that Madison hesitates to explore with anyone, and strange energies in Bettencourt Hall that blur the lines between past and present.
Poignant and utterly captivating, Where the Creek Bends shows that finding yourself begins with following your heart, no matter where it leads.
Perfect for fans of:
  • Second Chances
  • Family Drama
  • Small Town settings
  • Susan Mallery, Nicolas Sparks and Ashley Poston

        Liam McKettrick is playing his role as town marshal in Bitter Gulch, an Old West-experience town in Montana, when a woman in a bridal gown bursts into the saloon. Madison Bettencourt left her fianc� at the altar when she realized he would never prioritize her over his overbearing mother. It could be the start of a romance, but life is complicating things. Liam has finally regained custody of his children after a battle with his late wife's parents, and Madison's grandmother is dying. The story flashes back 24 years, when Bliss Morgan, who is poor and practically orphaned by apathetic parents, meets her friend Madison in the cemetery, until one day when she experiences a strange phenomenon and ends up in 1897. Miller imbues her latest, which can stand alone among her vast McKettrick series, with a hint of time-traveling magic, though the focus of the book is on Liam and Madison's burgeoning relationship. Readers will be eager to know more about Madison's friends, each of whom has a story that begs to be developed.
