Neva Stevenson's 25 years of guilt and regret stem from a family shattered by trauma and the whiskey-soaked choices she made after. Those years scarred her three children and twisted their adult lives into a dysfunctional mess. Now, Neva would do anything to keep them from repeating her mistakes. Sassy and unrelenting, she concocts a wild plan to coerce them into changes by issuing a deadline and dishing out the "mother" of all ultimatums.
Her children aren't buying it. To them, her redemption scheme is a step too far, even for Neva. They push back, and a firestorm erupts that splinters their fragile truce: sparking tempers, opening wounds, and unraveling secrets long buried.
Conditional Love, L.A. Arbuckle's debut, blends Midwest grit with witty, literary prose, earning "literary gold" praise (Women's Insider). Fans of The Nest's sibling chaos or Big Little Lies' dark twists will devour this debut from an award-winning producer and screenwriter that delivers complex characters, a jaw-dropping ending, and a mother's desperate gamble you won't forget. Conditional Love is a bold, bittersweet clash of family, love, and the conditions we place on them both.
Hello Reader!
In case you're wondering, here's a bit about me...
I was born and raised in Iowa. I've also lived in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, so "the Midwest" is usually my answer to the question "Where are you from?" I've also lived in Arizona and currently reside in Florida. (Bring on the sunshine, beach days, and amusement parks!)
I enjoyed success in my production, advertising, and mind, body, wellness careers while raising my family, but am now devoting myself full-time to the one passion (besides my husband) that has remained a constant for me: writing.
When I'm not lost in a sea of words, you can find me snuggled up with a book, devouring audio books like my life depends on it, creating culinary experiments in the kitchen, or hanging with my fur babies and hubby of 30+ years.
P.S. I'm also an award-winning producer, screenwriter and a lover of 80's tunes, all things taco, people who crack me up, and hot chai lattes (it's Christmas in a cup!)
