Synopsis

When a child is born they're a blank canvas. A canvas that is later molded by the influences of the world around them. Those influences determine that child’s future, but they are not always kind. Some of those children will enter adulthood easily, unscathed by the harshness of life, but for others, that journey is not an easy path to follow.

And then there are those, whose journeys are cut short.

He only ever wanted ….. to fit in.

He only ever wanted ….. to be included.

He only ever wanted ….. to have friends.

Alec never wanted for anything.

His parents made sure of that.

But, what Alec desperately wanted, they couldn’t buy.

He just wanted to be normal……..

He could never see what the rest of us could.

Smart. Funny. Good-looking. Sensitive.

Alec only saw what his mind wanted him to see.

And believed the false truths it told him.

BUT, I won’t allow him to become one of the lost, and when the clouds clear after the rain, I WILL make him see that he is everything WE believe him to be, and so much more……..

Excerpt

Please don’t cry…

I don’t suppose you ever thought you’d hear those three words being said to a man, or ever seen a man cry. There’s a common misconception that men don’t suffer like women. However, I believe this has more to do with the man’s pride than anything else. ‘only sissies cry’ I remember my grandfather calling out after I tripped over a rock in his garden and grazed my knee. ‘What are you, a girl?’ he chastised me at the time.

I was only five years old.

Title: Who We Were

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: February 25, 2017

Publisher: Hot Tree Publishing

Cover Designer: Claire Smith

Amazon US ~ Amazon UK ~ B&N ~ KOBO ~ Other booksites

“I guess that’s the thing about high school reunions, though. They make you snap a little.”

In the ten years since high school graduation, Maylee’s career, living arrangements, family, and especially her love life are at a standstill. When her twin brother, Mitch, falls for her high school enemy at their ten-year reunion, Maylee’s life is catapulted into chaos.

Maylee’s hatred for the blonde-haired Josephine isn’t the only thing she discovers at her reunion. Benson Drake, the introvert from high school, has matured into a sexy intellect. Now a writer and bartender, Benson’s grown into a man with a perfect balance of quirky wit and sex appeal. After a wardrobe malfunction, a spy mission gone wrong, and a dangerous cup of coffee, Maylee and Benson explore something they never even thought about during senior year. Along the way, they find out that reconnecting with the past can change you… or maybe just help you find your true self.

Who We Were by Lindsay Detwiler

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*** I voluntarily reviewed this book, I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book, these are my honest ramblings and I hope you enjoy reading them - kat***
4.5 stars

This was a surprisingly refreshing story, maylee has a lot of hangups, and I got where she was coming from, seriously having had a shitty time at school, with myself having a biatch that made my life hell, so I was rooting for her in her quest to get the biatch queen Josephine out of her brothers life. The things Josephine did were unforgivable, I don't think I could have let it go, once I found out what she did.

But the author did a great job in showing how sometimes you have to let go of the past to move on with the future. Mylee's escapades had me laughing, her friend was the perfect partner in crime when they were out spying... there's lots of bits I could tell you about that made me laugh or cry. But I suggest that you discover them yourself by reading the book. I look forward to reading more from this

Facebook I Twitter I Website

A high school English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay's the English teacher cliché; she love cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe.

She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, and Bob; and their Mastiff, Henry.

Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the “typical romance.” With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to say, “I see myself in that novel.” She wants to speak to the modern woman’s experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim is for readers to say, “That could happen,” or “I feel like the characters are real.” That’s how she knows she's done her job.

Lindsay's hope is that by becoming a published author, she can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a novel isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
