Publisher's Synopsis
DAISY GIRL is a story about starting over, second chances, and finding hope where you least expect it. In one short year, Jewels Sterling loses almost everyone she cares about: her mother, her boyfriend, her baby. Desperate to escape her small Texas town and the memories of loss that haunt her, she dreams up a trip to Italy where she hopes to put her grief to rest. But when one huge mistake derails all her careful plans, she finds herself stranded in an airport wondering what to do next. After meeting Maggie Greenland and her special-needs daughter, Wanda, in the terminal, Jewels makes a desperate and last-minute decision to go to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Living with the Greenlands is not part of her plan, but Maggie needs help with Wanda, and Jewels has nowhere else to go. Maggie's generous, warm spirit makes a place for Jewels and unexpectedly she stumbles into a whole new life. In the year that follows, Jewels bravely opens her heart to new people and ideas, but is it enough to heal all the hurt from her past? Will she finally be able to put her ghosts to rest and embrace her future?
