Ashes of Life by Erica Lucke Dean
Married for just three months, Alex Barrett is stunned when her husband, David, dies in a tragic accident. And the absolute last thing the pregnant young widow wants is to take on responsibility for his teenage daughter, Maddie. Reeling from loss, Alex struggles to deal with her grief and her troubled stepdaughter, but one question haunts her: why was David with his ex-wife when he died? All Maddie Barrett wanted was for her parents to get back together, but an icy road took that dream away. Afterward, Maddie is riddled with guilt that she can't share with anyone. Feeling angry and alone, she lays all the blame on Alex. Alex and Maddie must find a way to move past their pain-shared, yet separate. Thrown together in an untenable arrangement, they fight through a frozen landscape of sorrow and redemption while redefining love, forgiveness, and family.Erica Lucke Dean moved from the hustle and bustle of the large city to a little tourist town in the North Georgia Mountains, where she lives in a 90-year-old haunted farmhouse with her workaholic husband, her 180-pound lap dog, and at least one ghost, after quitting her job as a business banker to pursue writing full-time. She spends her free time reading awful fan fiction or singing karaoke in the local pub when she isn't writing or tending to her menagerie of crazy hens and evil ducks. Erica is a disaster magnet, much like the main character in her debut book, To Katie With Love, and has been known to trip on air when walking across flat surfaces. One of life's great mysteries is how she has managed to survive this long.
