THE
DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES
By
Barbara Longley
BLURB:
Ryan
Malloy has lost it all. After his fiancée dies in a tragic accident, he enlists
in the army, only to lose his best friend in a roadside bombing. Wracked with
guilt and grief, Ryan finds life unbearable—until a job offer from his former
commander gives him a glimmer of hope. And in the tiny town of Perfect,
Indiana, the man who thought he had nothing left to live for meets the only
woman who can tempt him into risking his battered heart one last time...
Paige
Langford has it all: wealth, beauty, and ambition. But when her boyfriend’s
betrayal leads to the loss of her job and her reputation, she retreats to her
brother’s rural Indiana home to regroup. There she meets Ryan Malloy, a gruff,
hard-drinking loner whose surly temper can’t hide the haunted misery in his
eyes. He is everything Paige never wanted, yet he may be exactly what she
needs—if only they can overcome their personal demons to forge a love strong
enough to save them both.
AUTHOR INFORMATION:
As a child, Barbara Longley moved frequently, learning early
on how to entertain herself with stories. Adulthood didn’t tame her peripatetic
ways: she has lived on an Appalachian commune, taught on an Indian reservation,
and traveled the country from coast to coast. After having children of her own,
she decided to try staying put, choosing Minnesota as her home. By day, she
puts her master’s degree in special education to use teaching elementary
school. By night, she explores all things mythical, paranormal, and newsworthy,
channeling what she learns into her writing.

Returning soldiers have so much to deal with. Life goes on and happy endings are possible. It's encouraging to read about successes, even in fiction.
