When she isn’t driving her dad’s old limo, she’s at the library computer carrels searching for a job and mentally lusting after the artisan woodcarver the Lakefield Metropolitan Library’s hired to restore its atrium (Carrie West’s library! Look for a cameo appearance). The youngest middle sister, Des is the peacemaker, the caregiver, and has been unemployed for six months after a layoff. You’ll also slowly learn the love story of their parents, the love that started it all. In this four book series and related novellas, you’ll meet this family, and the people of their neighborhood. A family with very different people, but who were raised in love, and so value its power in their life. A family who fights and makes up and takes care of each other. This is a family all of us might really know. All four of them are at a crossroads and poised to find the life and love their parents always wanted for them, and make their own spot in the world. The series opens when the kids are grown-up, still in Lakefield, and have just lost their father to cancer. The death of Marie Burnside had resonance for all of the children, and broke Patrick Burnside’s heart. Patrick operated a limousine service, Marie loved her kids, worked when she could for their school, and then, her family lost her when Paul and Destiny were still little and Sam and Sarah were teenagers. Patrick and Marie Burnside were parents who wanted the best for their kids, including the kind of true love they shared. Sam, Sarah, Destiny, and Paul Burnside were born, and grew up, in the tight knit Southside neighborhood of Lakefield, Ohio.
Take a look at this emotional and romantic world Mary Ann Rivers is writing. Live, book one will be released this January. Mary Ann Rivers is at Smexy today to introduce us to The Burnside series and I can’t wait to start. It was her debut book and I have waiting and waiting for her to announce what she is doing next. Earlier this year I read and absolutely adored, The Story Guy by Mary Ann Rivers.
