Author’s Note: Reconcilable Differences was the first novel I completed, ten years ago, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. It was also the draft manuscript that needed the most revision over the years as I learned and honed my skills as a writer. Many a fellow author will roll their eyes and wonder if this is one manuscript I should have kept permanently under the bed, and indeed I’ve asked myself that question many times. But, it’s a story that I felt needed to be told. The pervasiveness of rape in our culture, and the lasting impact this has on its victims, is more in the media today than ever. As it’s been edited and revised many, many times, I hope the resulting book is worthy of the story. Available August 2016 on Amazon.

Kate is a survivor.

Her latest mediation brings together a young couple on the brink of divorce, and only Kate’s expertise and sensitivity can save them. It also, unexpectedly, reconnects her with former lover Simon Sharpe, who represents the high and the low points of her life, uncomfortably forcing her to revisit her difficult and painful past.

Still haunted by her unrequited love, Simon’s reemergence in Kate’s life exhumes memories of trauma and heartbreak, along with unwanted feelings of insecurity and self-doubt she believed were long resolved. As Simon and Kate steer their feuding, secretive clients towards reconciliation and navigate their confusing past, their own relationship reignites and takes them on an unexpected path.

Can Kate trust Simon? And can she trust herself?
