A Destiny to Love: The Chronicles of the Great Oak: Book 1

By Jenny Davis

Melanie Simmons has felt out of place and alone her entire young life. Abandoned by her mentally ill mother on a playground at age seven, then tossed from one bad foster home to the next. After being hospitalized for fighting off a rape attempt by her foster mom's boyfriend, she was finally made an emancipated minor at age sixteen.

Now nineteen, she finds herself waiting tables at a slum diner. As she scrapes by to support herself through college, she can't stand being a young woman living in 1993. She wishes she had lived in a time when guys knew how to be gentlemen. A time when there was genuine romance, and love that lasted a lifetime.

Melanie is befriended by a strange, old woman. This unknown relative wants to share with Melanie her inheritance and the secrets of the family she never knew. Secrets that have been kept for generations and explain her mother's mental illness...and her disappearance. Secrets that will help Melanie learn where her place is, or when it is...as she clings to the hope for A Destiny to Love.
