From Her Mother's Arms

Mona Lisa, abandoned at birth and renamed "Rona" by a couple claiming to be her birth parents. When she turns seven, she finds out from the woman's sister that the Fergusons have not only been lying to her but, also, that their sudden deaths have helped to close the "Case of the Missing 'Mona Lisa'". When the aunt dies and leaves Rona alone, her death catapults the girl into the foster-care system until a soft-spoken man at a support group leads her to a place of peace and, quite possibly, reunion.

Bo, older brother of Sybil Stevens, has remained his sister's closest confidante throughout their lives. When "Sister" turns up pregnant, he finds out that the baby's father is none other than his high-school buddy, Damon, a rakish quarterback with a score to settle.

Damon has caught his girlfriend with his arch nemesis, Jett Davis. When Prom Night rolls around, he invites Jett Davis's innocent ex-girlfriend, Sybil, to Prom. Clueless about the "footprint" he has left behind, he finds his memory drifting to one reckless night in 1950. When he flies in to attend the funeral of another friend from high-school, he crosses paths with a distraught green-eyed woman at a gas station.

About the Author
Terry, Kim: - Kim Terry, author of FROM HER MOTHER'S ARMS, is a retired college English professor, wife, mother, and grandmother who wants to write like Karin Slaughter when she grows up. Also a published poet with her works appearing in Ingenue, Christian Bible Teacher, Asahi Network, and a number of school literary publications, she began banging out her first work-in-progress, BY HER DAUGHTER'S HANDS (from which FROM HER MOTHER'S ARMS originates) in January 2009 after attending the Laughing Gull Writer's Workshop in Port Aransas, Texas. She finished FROM HER MOTHER'S ARMS at her husband's bedside in April 2016 as a Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) writing project. Since she retired, she, her husband, and their dog have been living in their RV and traveling to different parts of Texas in their self-designed book tour throughout Texas and, eventually, throughout the United States. My three favorite authors are Joy Fielding, Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner. Who are your faves? I love all fiction but especially action, adventure and suspense. I'm always looking for the latest in contemporary fiction and like reading new indie authors. My three most memorable books by my three favorite authors are (Fielding) GRAND AVENUE (Slaughter) TRIPTYCH (Gardner) THE PERFECT HUSBAND Kim asks, The book is ALWAYS better than the movie right? Curling up on the sofa with the latest thriller suspense novel is my idea of a good weekend!
