Some Dreams Never Die
Scorned by her zealot mother after being raped by a cult leader, The Shepherd, eighteen-year-old Angel knows her only hope of survival is escape. On a rainy September night, she flees her mother's home, unaware of the supernatural forces that guide her on her journey to Littlebrook; a poor, mountain village where nothing ever changes and nothing is as innocent as it seems. Alone and afraid, Angel finds an ally in Don Hanson, the village doctor with a haunted past. Angel's resemblance to Don's dead wife, Mary, is the eerily powerful magnet that draws him to her, stirring his shattered heart to love again. But for this unlikely pair, love comes at a high price, as Angel's mysterious appearance creates a tempest in the small town, awakening ghosts from the past, and striking vengeance in the dark heart of an enemy Angel didn't know she had.

True Story Magazine -- Read All About it!
Nothing ever changes in the sleepy, rural town of Littlebrook, New York. Nothing, that is, until a mysterious young woman in need of serious medical care is found in a barn on Joel Samuel's farm. Soon, Angel's arrival brings out the best - and worst- in everyone. For motherly Cora Samuels, it's a given that Angel stays with them on the farm until she's well enough to resume her life. Attending physician Don Hanson wants nothing to do with Angel beyond treating her because Angel is the spitting image of his late wife, Mary. Cora's sister, Pandora Baker, resents Angel's sudden presence.
Starved for a mother's love, Angel begins to thrive in her new home and the spirits that seemed to guide Angel to the Samuel's farm continue to watch over her. Her friendship with Don is what helps her put her troubled past behind her, but reaching out to him stirs up old memories, making Don uncomfortable. When he keeps his distance, Angel is left wondering what Don's true intentions are, especially when Littlebrook's own celebrity, supermodel Shelly Wheeler, returns. What Don doesn't realize is that he needs Angel as much as she needs him.
Readers who grew up in a small town can relate to the high school secrets that have bound Don, Shelly and Pandora together through the years, and to Angel's position as a newcomer. Don and Angel's redemptive, healing love story will strike a very deep and strong chord within the hearts of the True Story family.

| Jean’s writing consumes the reader. Forget passive reading, you fall into Littlebrook feeling you’re a part of the action. Her characters come alive with emotions in so much you can feel your sentiments raise and fall with every peak and valley. You will feel compassion, fear, hatred, sadness, all of them at varying levels as the story reaches its ultimate climax. Recommended reading for one and all. |

Excellent job, Jean. The Winds of Autumn was a pleasure to read. The characters and setting are very believable, including the parnormal appearances. The plot is tight, fast moving; and kept me turning pages from the beginning all the way to a very satisfying conclusion. I ended it wanting to know more about Angel and Don and Littlebrook.

| "The Winds of Autumn" is one of my most prized possessions. Not only is the cover art mysterious and beautiful, but the story itself is a wonderfully romantic page turner with enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat and the paranormal aspect is done to perfection. Add to that the fact that Ms. Pike is a truly talented and outstanding writer and you've got a true winner. |
