The Life She Chooses Maggie Christensen

Two families. Two troubled pasts. Can they find a future together?

Following the loss of her husband and the devastating accusations surrounding his death, Kay Jackson has experienced the icy chill of alienation from the close-knit town of Granite Springs. Thrust into the position of personal assistant to a professor at the local university, Kay, who prefers to stay in the background away from the town gossips, is unsure how she will cope.

When Nick Kerr's wife leaves him for a younger man, the professor is left nursing a broken heart while struggling to adapt to life as a single parent of two teens. Reeling from the indignity of his wife's actions, Nick has no intention of putting himself in such a vulnerable position again.

However, as Kay and Nick's professional relationship develops, they find themselves drawn to each other. As their friendship begins to morph into something more, Kay's daughter arrives in town intent on controlling her mother's life. The combined actions of Kay's daughter and Nick's children reinforces the many doubts the couple have on embarking on a new relationship.

Is there a future for Kay and Nick or will their families destroy any chance of happiness?
