Alice has too much on her plate. As the owner of a children’s party restaurant, she’s understaffed, overextended, and the frequent brunt of parents’ complaints. At home, she has a relationship that never worked, an ailing great aunt, and a daughter whose personal crisis threatens the entire family. But to forty-year-old Alice, scarred and traumatized by a tragic accident in her teens, the present is far easier to handle than memories of her past. When a stranger arrives with a legal document from years ago, that’s only the beginning of a series of events which upturn her life and bring the devastating past back into the present. Can she allow herself to take necessary risks, in order to cast away her hand-me-down life and find success and true love, or is she destined always to be that wild, headstrong girl who can’t resist making faulty choices? Dawn Any Minute is a story of awakenings, in which hearts long slumbering arise from the ashes to claim a bright new day.
Awash in despair, Addie swallows a handful of pills, expecting to extinguish her misery along with her life. She is dead, but she isn't gone. Instead, she is trapped in the Afterlife, where Addie finds herself surrounded by loving guides and terrifying apparitions as she is forced to do what she's most wanted to avoid--examine the key moments of her life. There are the many husbands, including the teenage son of her best friend. There are her three resentful children. And a career in ruin, all of which she must deal with. With a sense of terror and foreboding, Addie begins to confront the deep secrets, the moments of betrayal, and the lingering heartbreak from her past. After a lifetime of self-serving acts, can Addie accept that perhaps she isn't the wonderful person she imagines but rather someone who should have faced unpleasant truths and changed long ago. Can she release the notion of herself as a victim, offer forgiveness and embrace redemption? This exciting thriller has non-stop action, unexpected turns and twists and will keep you enthralled to the very end as you wonder can Addie die and live to see another day?
