Breaking Free Michele Barlow

Luna Kind has faced upset in her life, but through it all she has kept her sunny disposition, and her determination to succeed. But nothing could have prepared her for her marriage ending in the most unexpected way possible. Luna didn't know how to process all the changes so she sought out support wherever she could find it. Running out of places to turn, Luna joins a support group for women suffering loss... any kind of loss. Her newfound friends form so much more than a simple bond of tragedy, they form The Broken Hearts Club. Part shoulder to cry on, part advice column, and all cheering squad. It's only with their support that Luna can finally begin to rebuild some of her lost self-esteem. Things seem to be getting better, she and Alton are still the best of friends, and she's running her own hair salon. But even after two years, Alton's family is still hurling abuse Luna's way, blaming her for the marriage failing. Alton hopes that a little excitement in her life might cheer her up. Excitement that includes a blind date with a tall, broad shouldered firefighter. Luna is convinced that it's all an impossible joke, until Ford Jameson turns up in her salon and all of the bravado she's built up flies out the window, and the walls around her heart begin to crumble.
