New Beginnings is a fictional romantic, adventurous story about a mother, Anna, and her teenage daughter, Crissy, moving across the country to a small Southern town in South Carolina while leaving behind pretentious ideals that were engulfing their lives. Anna returns to her Southern small-town roots to reacquaint with her forgotten self as she watched Crissy transform from a popularity-seeking material girl into a caring, purposeful being.

Through authentic relationships, they both find true meaning and fulfillment. Throughout their adventures, Crissy learns that life doesn't have to include sports cars and designer clothes in order to be exciting! While Anna uses her energy to wake up a sleepy town, Crissy learns what it's like to have true friends.

For mystery lovers, there is also an element of suspense that will keep the readers on edge. Anna's comfortable life in California ends when her new job as a social worker involves her and Crissy in a domestic violence case.

Not only do they find purpose and happiness, but they also find true love in the most unexpected situations. They become attracted to commitment to strong principles rather than prestige and power.

Brock Herrington's blue eyes and his love for horses help change Crissy's perspective of a small Southern town from backwoods to dreamy. However, Anna had to work at convincing John Graves that she was not a shallow rich girl who just blew into town for thrills in her shiny silver Jag.

New Beginnings is a book that gives hope to all who have loved and been hurt, tried and failed, or started and stopped. .
