NEW YORK, January 23, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Angie fantasized about adventure and travel, but mostly about love and being loved. So far she hadn't been very lucky. Trapped in a loveless marriage, her only happiness was her son and the books she reads. With this, Vicki Long sets the precedent for her novel in "The Destiny Family: One Eve in April, One Eve in June" (now available through 1stBooks Library).
One fateful night changed her life. She found love, but she also found danger. Nothing about her life was the same after that night. Instead of the boredom of her old life, she found the courage to make a new life. Now that she had found the man she loves, she would have to leave him behind.
To avoid endangering her son, Angie is forced to flee to northern Michigan to a new family and new friends, but most importantly to a place where for the first time she feels she belongs, Destiny.
Angie finds herself at the center of an ever-growing family, a family that is drawn together by their common need for love and support. Her strength comes from how much they depend upon her, but mostly because she feels needed and loved. But, until the day her true love comes home, she will not truly feel safe.
Although this is her first novel, Vicki Long has been writing stories since she was young. Writing and making up stories has always been a part of her life. A former U.S. Forest Service naturalist, and retail store manager, she now works in marketing. Vicki lives in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan with her husband and her two dogs.
The Longs moved to Michigan because they love the outdoors, hiking, canoeing, camping, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The abundance of snow during the long northern Michigan winters made the perfect backdrop for writing this novel. Vicki is currently working on her second novel about the murder of homeless people and a psychic psychiatrist in New York City.
