Walking Away - Second in the Walking Together Series by T. E. Killian
Grace Donaldson is getting her seven-year-old daughter, Brianna, away from the big city and the damaging influence of her former in-laws. She needs to be free from being told how and what to do in her life. By moving back home to Strawberry, Missouri, and getting a teaching job at the local high school, Grace hopes to give Brianna a new life. Now Grace is teaching down the hall from Kent. How will they both act and react to the other one?
Kent is missing two things in his life. First, his seven-year-old daughter, Michelle has been missing with her mother for five years. Second, he lost the love of his life when Grace met someone else in college, married him, and moved to St. Louis eight years ago. But now Grace and her daughter have moved back to Strawberry and are living two houses down from Kent.
Grace had not been aware that Kent loved her before. Her marriage was not good, so Grace is in no way ready to get into another relationship. Her most important challenge is to make her daughter happy again.
Kent suddenly has another problem. His principal is out to get him fired.
Grace just thought she was getting away from her former in-laws only to find out that they bought a second home in Strawberry. Now what?
Can Kent live and work so close to Grace? Will he be able to find a way to regain control of his life? Will he be able to get rid of his bad headaches? What will life be like for Kent. Can he handle another heartbreak?
Can Grace live and work so close to Kent? Will she be able to keep her daughter safe and help Kent too?
Will Kent and Grace be able to rebuild their friendship and come together to help each other walk away from their problems?
Will they be able to cope with the old problems and hurts and move on to better memories?
While trying to make it big on Broadway, dancer Abby Fouchet finds herself falling in love, falling in rehearsal (!), and trying to outwit a clever killer out to destroy the man she loves.
