*Knowledge really is power when you don't know who you are.*Jane Doe.It was all Della ever knew of her mother.No identification.No family to tie her to.Then, on her eighteenth birthday, Della's life was flipped upside down by one thin, manila folder. Growing up in the foster system, she never really had anything to call her own, not even a last name revealing any real association to anyone. Now, the truth was exposed, but there was still so much she didn't know.Hoping to learn more about the mother she never knew, and maybe discover a bit more about herself along the way, Della travels across the country seeking answers-and finds far more than she bargained for.An unimaginable world-one on the brink of war-is pulling her in, and making her claim a birthright she never knew she wanted.There's a storm brewing on the horizon, and as the pressure builds, it will take everything Della has not to drown in a destiny she didn't choose.
Author Biography
A Tidewater girl born and bred, Regan Claire's first friend and love was the Atlantic. Growing up being told legends about pirates and American Natives common in coastal VA and NC, coupled with being an only child, did wonders for her imagination; she's had one foot in fantasy-land ever since, a trait her closest friends heroically endure (and one she secretly hopes her two daughters have inherited). She moved inland to Nashville when she was entering tweenhood, and not a day goes by that she doesn't miss her childhood playmate and it's crashing waves. Nashville has her perks though, and Regan's proud to be raising her children in Music City with the man of her dreams.
