Congratulations to the Goodreads winners of

Hello,
Iโm a writer from Albany, New York. Even though Iโm a Salinger-type hermit, I love to hang out with family and close friends, trail walk, window shop, binge watch TV, read, and of course, write.
Iโm excited to share that my book, Kennedyโs Goodbye, has been released! Check it out! And donโt forget to follow me on Amazon, Goodreads, and Facebook!!
This book was like a child, its conception so desired and its reality long awaited, then nurtured for a decade and now finally released into the world. I hope youโll enjoy Kennedyโs journey.
If you happen to want to find yourself within her pages, then go right ahead. Iโve seen myself in many characters over the years and they have helped me along my path. If not for words, time, and characters โ people โ coming alive, what have we?

KENNEDYโS GOODBYE
In her raw, primal need for connection and truth, Kennedy learns to listen to the one voice that matters within a world of loss and lies and heart-rending goodbyes.
Is hope a myth? Is love a lie? Is God dead?
Kennedy needs to know. But sheโs left feeling alone, grappling to make sense of the world around her. The youngest member of a devout Catholic family, her preordained pathway of perfection into heaven becomes more like a highway to hell. With so many roadblocksโsin, sex, losses, liesโwill Kennedy find a place to belong? A place where itโs OK to be OK? A place where hope is real and love is true?
In this coming-of-age novel set in upstate New York in the seventies and eighties, told in a freshly candid voice that evolves as she grows and matures, Kennedy says goodbye to many thingsโbut to what? Hope? Love? God? Or her own self?
Find out in Kennedyโs Goodbye.
