~ What's It About?~
Sahara Lee has spent
the last ten years living with the guilt of a tragic accident and its
aftermath. That night irrevocably changed the outgoing, fun-loving
college freshman into an introverted, workaholic with no social life.
Sahara isolates herself from everyone and everything that reminds her of
home in an effort to forget what happened. Using art as a substitute
for love, Sahara throws herself into music and art as a way to feel
something other than the guilt that haunts her. She accepts her lonely
existence as penance for the role she played in the accident. That is,
until she meets Tyree Barker, the good looking entrepreneur with baggage
of his own.
Blindsided by a legal loophole, Sahara is suddenly forced to confront the past she’s been running from. Juggling the guilty feelings of her past and the unexpected feelings of her present, Sahara’s future becomes complicated as she heads down a path of forgiveness, love, and heartbreak…and not in that particular order.
Back to Life reminds you that living and existing are two completely different ways to go through life. Grief will break you but guilt, guilt will destroy you. And once that happens, what can bring you back to life?

~ My Thoughts~
At first I wasn't to for sure about this story due to the cover and then every page had a number on it right in the middle of the txt, I did however get over the #'s. lol. The cover to me just doesn't match the story @ all. I actually really enjoy the story! It was a wow moments over and over again I felt I was learning something new about the characters on every page, right up till about the end when I had my mind blown. Yes, it really got interesting.
Just when things started turning up for Sahara she has to go to this hearing that she really doesn't want to after 10 years of pain she was happy, To say the least she learns something about Ty at this hearing and it blows her mind, sends her relationship to a hole new level. And not in a good way as she get's drunk and thinks she did the right thing only to have it come crashing all down the next minute. What happens after that you'll just have to read the story. Near the end I was really crying and at the time I knew why(not telling), thinking back on how it ended, It kinda just made me mad left off on this huge cliffhanger(yes, I know it's to get people to read the next story) I just don't like them this one was huge it left my jaw dropping and me complaining to my husband for the first time in months about the ending. lol
I was over all happy with the story the past, present and the hopeful future for Sahara. I really liked how I got to know the characters past in the story and how I got to grow as Sahara grew on the pages I felt like I was their trying to grew with her. She had a lot of S%&T that happened in her past, that I would not wish on anyone. OK, let's face it this author has made both the main guys like super HOTT!! It kept me interested to say the least. This is a story about changes and becoming a person all over again, letting people on finally and coming to terms about your past. It was good. This is was low key romance story that got better and better as it went on.

~Meet The Author~
I
am a married event planner and life coach. My awesome friends
and family and my amazing husband make my life sweet. I love to
have fun and enjoy the life I’ve been blessed with. I love
shopping and football with equal fervor. I’m an amateur movie
critic (i.e. my husband and I watch and critique a lot of movies for
fun). I love to read and I enjoy sharing my love of books with anyone
who will listen. I love music. A good lyric with a good melody can
paint a vivid picture and invoke such a range of emotions. I have
a soft spot for most mediums of creative, artistic expression.
With
degrees in psychology, human services, and marriage and family
counseling, I have a unique perspective on life, love and the
pursuit of happiness. As an author, I combine an active
imagination and life experiences to create stories that are
easily relatable and intentionally intriguing. I want
to offer you a peek into someone else’s life and for you to
get lost in their story, their trials, their triumphs. My
ultimate goal is to create a character or a story that stays with you
long after you’ve put the book down.

So
in a nutshell: I plan. I teach. I read. I write. I watch. I critique.
I shop. I play. I love.
