The Story . . .

A heartfelt journey of a woman who returns to the childhood home she’s avoided to care for her dying mother and hopefully heals herself in the process…

Workaholic, control-freak Margarita is competent, intelligent, and extremely independent. A third year medical student, she is completely focused on becoming a doctor. But when her sister calls with news their mother’s cancer diagnosis is terminal, Margarita returns home to small-town California, yet dreads facing the dysfunctional family she left behind.

Craving peace and security, Margarita always felt like she didn’t belong in a such a large, loud, drama-filled family. And when her mother and father’s marriage fell apart, Margarita realized she never wanted to feel that kind of pain again and has avoided getting close to anyone since, worried she had no idea how to truly show love or make a relationship last.

Unable to escape her feelings of inadequacy, she’s become self-destructive–working and drinking too much. Yet there’s one man who, years ago, broke through the protective wall around her heart, one man whose steady friendship never wavered, even when she didn’t deserve it. Now facing him and their unresolved feelings is possibly most terrifying part of going home.

If Margarita has any hope of healing, she must learn to accept the past and start loving herself again. If she can’t, she could lose everything, her career, her mother, and the only man she’s ever loved.

A Word From The Author

Thank you so much for buying This Is Now!

The characters in This Is Now have been part of my life for many years. I hope you will fall in love with them as much as I have.

This story is about forgiveness and learning to move on with our lives even when it's difficult.

When I started writing This Is Now, we hadn't yet been affected by a pandemic that changed all our lives. I feel that with all that we have been through and lost in the last year and a half, a story about moving forward is important because it's what we all must learn to do.

The story takes place in a fictional town similar to mine. I love our small city and have watched it grow since I moved here over 25 years ago.

I love the people, the beautiful mountains, and mostly the orange groves that are quickly disappearing.

I welcome you to my fictional town. Thank you for spending time in it with my characters.

Right up to the end of the book, the reader is not sure how this story will end.

I enjoyed this book a great deal. Once I started it, I couldn't stop until I was done. I thought that the plot was realistic and the cultural references to Argentina added a lot to the book.
