Meet Bella.

Introducing Bella Tumuche...the heroine of my novel.  She is Carrie Bradshaw with kids, Bridget Jones ten years later. 

Bella is trying to juggle it all...

She is a wife, a mother of two, a woman who wants to realize a life-long dream, a determined spitfire, she rolls with what is put in front of her.  Some find her spontaneous and fun.  Her hubby sums her up in one word:  exhausting.

Meet the family.

Jack, a hands-on dad and Bella’s rock, a man that is constantly coming to her rescue and hell bent on keeping his family together.  Jack is punctual, reliable, organized, level-headed; basically everything Bella is not. 

Bella’s mom and dad, they are laid-back-go-with-the-flow-type parents.  They love their daughter, but are glad she is someone else’s responsibility now.  They had their turn.

Bella is falling

Brittney, a precocious six-year old and Bella’s daughter, a girl who mothers Max, loves stuffed animals and keeps it real.

Max, a witty three-year old and Bella’s son, who loves warm chocolate milk, playing board games and monster trucks.

Soco, a lovable black Labrador Retriever, the family’s mascot, a pup who will steal the socks right off your feet without you even realizing it. 

Meet the other man.

Phillip Burns, a radio tycoon, who has set his sights on Bella.  He is used to getting what he wants, he is a man who doesn’t hear the word “no” ever.
