Description
Nine Lives is a thought-provoking story of lost love and new beginnings.
After a carefree childhood, Maggie Kelly came of age in the shadow of grief. Her father, a pilot, died when she was nine. Maggie saw her mother struggle to put their lives back together. As the family moved from one city to the next, her mother warned her about daredevil men and to avoid risk at all costs.
Following her mother's advice, and forgoing the magic of first love with a high-school boyfriend whom she thought too wild, Maggie married a good, dependable man. Together they had a son and found happiness in a conventional suburban life—until tragedy struck again.
Now on her own, feeling a sense of adventure for the first time, Maggie decides to face her fears, setting off on a whirlwind trip from the US to Rome, Paris, London and Monaco. When her travels reconnect her with the irresistible, thrill-seeking man she's spent thirty years trying to forget, Maggie fears that rushing into love and sharing his life may end in disaster. While Maggie tries to outrun her fears and painful memories, fate will surprise her in the most astounding of ways as she walks the tightrope between danger and courage, and between wisdom and love.
