Keep You

(2012)
(The first book in the Walker Family series)
A novel by

 
 
Told in both the "Then" and the "Now", the novel follows the story of Tameron Wales, a boy who had to grow up too fast because his mother needed him, and who drove away the love of his life on purpose so that he might spare her from the violent threat of his father.

Joanna Walker, twenty-three and youngest of five, struggling to make ends meet post-grad, still doesn't understand exactly what happened four years ago when Tam left her standing up against her dorm building, in the rain, like something out of a bad made-for-TV movie. She only knows that her brother Mike's wedding - an extravagant, farcical Irish castle ordeal ordered by his fiancee - will reunite her with Tam. The only thing more painful than remembering how it all ended is seeing him again. Jo Walker is the kind of girl who knows what she wants out of life, and she's always wanted Tam, even if she kind of hates him a little bit right now.

The first volume in a trilogy, Keep You introduces five siblings each trying to carve out their own tiny slice of the American dream. More than a romance, the novel explores all the bonds and experiences - the heartbreaks and hopes - that create a family.

Look for the sequel, Dream of You, in the coming months.
