Kaleidoscope--a contemporary romance set in Escape, Colorado
Kaleidoscopes are made of many faceted pieces of broken glass. Alice is broken like that glass, and Travis did the shattering.
She breaks away to Escape, Colorado for its healing vibes, the love of her aunts, and a new beginning. Alice invests everything she has left—time, money, sweat, and tears into her new venture.
This time, she’s not counting on a man. This time, she picks up her own pieces and becomes the maker of her own dreams.
Whatever happens will be beautiful and powerful. But, it would be so much more spectacular if she could find someone special to love her and share kaleidoscope dreams. In Escape, Colorado, where the scenery is breathtaking and the people are caring, perhaps, she will.
