Debut Novel Out Now

Karson Curtis had always been the center of attention. With a knack for performing on stage, she knew that her dream to entertain on Broadway was going to become a reality. Her life would go exactly as she planned and everything would turn out fine.

Life has a funny way of letting you down.

Now Karson lives in the small southern town of Benbrook and is sharing the spotlight with her parents who are going through a divorce, her lackluster talent pool in the next community theater project, and her boyfriend who she’s told over and over again that she is not the type to marry.

Then to make matters worse, two of her exes move in next door.

Exciting memories begin to blossom from years ago and has Karson wondering if the grass is greener on the other side. All the anxieties of the present could be erased with a visit to her past. But what happens if her boyfriend finds out? Is she willing to retrace old steps if that means losing sight of him? 

Can Karson mend the relationships in her life, or has her spotlight become too dim to find the right path?

Are small towns reflections of their people or are people reflections of their small town? Here, in Benbrook, it’s a little of both. Families from all walks of life are here, some have been here for generations, others are merely passing through, but there is something about the quaint southern town that draws in people with inspiring and heartfelt stories. You never know what to expect when you hear a tale from Benbrook, but one thing is certain. You’ll never forget it.
