When Never Comes
An Amazon Charts most-read and most-sold book.
Author Barbara Davis deftly explores an emotionally charged landscape of pain, loss, and despair--and the risk one woman will take in the hope of loving again.
As a teenage runaway and child of an addict, Christy-Lynn learned the hard way that no address was permanent, and no promise sacred. For a while, she found a safe haven in her marriage to bestselling crime novelist Stephen Ludlow--until his car skidded into Echo Bay. But Stephen's wasn't the only body pulled from the icy waters that night. When details about a mysterious violet-eyed blonde become public, a media circus ensues, and Christy-Lynn runs again.
Desperate for answers, she's shattered to learn that Stephen and his mistress had a child--a little girl named Iris, who now lives in poverty with her ailing great-grandmother. The thought of Iris abandoned to the foster care system--as Christy-Lynn once was--is unbearable. But she's spent her whole life running--determined never to be hurt again. Will she finally stand still long enough to open herself up to forgiveness and love?

This book for me was a bit hard to put down at first. Christy Lynn was raised by a drunken mother who was in and out of prison all the time. So Christy Lynn was in and out of foster homes all the time. It was very hard for her to trust and to open up her heart to anyone. Then she finds out that her husband who dies in a car accident had an affair and had a child with that woman. It wasn't a bad book it was a pretty good book it was just a little slow at times that's the only thing that I had a problem with.
So that is what this book is about - this book and dozens more like it. This is apparently the modern woman's feel good fiction. The names, locations and circumstances vary from title to title, but the main storyline is on a rinse and repeat cycle. Girl suffers and is torn down only to rise again and discover that she is strong after all. It's not a horrible premise, but it has been over-played.
