Between The Pages - A Year of Firsts

A Year of Firsts 

Liz Flaherty 

February 2022 

Widow Syd Cavanaugh is beginning a “year of firsts” with the road trip she’d promised her husband she’d take after his death. An unplanned detour lands her in Fallen Soldier, Pennsylvania, where she meets the interesting and intelligent editor of the local paper. 

Television journalist Clay McAlister’s life took an unexpected turn when a heart attack forced him to give up his hectic lifestyle. He’s still learning how to live in a small town when meeting a pretty traveler in the local coffee shop suddenly makes it all much more interesting. 

While neither of them is interested in a romantic relationship, their serious case of being “in like” seems to push them that way. However, Clay’s heart condition doesn’t harbinger a very secure future, and Syd’s already lost one man she loved to a devastating illness—she isn’t about to lose another. Where can this relationship possibly go? 

Between The Pages 

Book one of the Second Chances series is an inspirational, sweet romance. The setting of Fallen Soldier is a place you’ll want to visit. The complete cast of characters are intriguing, especially Jason Benteen (a Vietnam veteran) who is a scene stealer. Syd and Clay have a captivating relationship. The author’s writing has you feeling the emotion on the pages. A beautiful storyline from beginning to end.
