Finding Kylie (Paperback)

~ Kimberly McKay (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

After reading the trailer for Finding Kylie I couldn't wait to get my hands on the novel. I knew I was in for a good story and the manuscript exceeded my expectations. Using a combination of intrigue and gentle suspense, Kimberly McKay leads the reader down a trail of self-discovery. Her spunky heroine, Chastity Wayne, not only survives the premature loss of her mother, Kylie, due to cancer, she "finds" her again in the pages of the journal she left behind and in the memories of her best friend, Cheryl Jenkins. In the process, Chastity also finds herself, and the confidence she needs to pursue relationships with an openness that her mother never felt. I look forward to more good story-telling from Kimberly McKay. --Charlene A. Derby, author and storyteller

Product Description

What if... after laying your mother to rest, the mother who has been the only real family you ve ever known, you discover her secretive past in a set of hidden journals? What would you do if she was the only link to the father you never knew? A father you'd been told was dead, but was indeed very much alive... Twenty-five year old Chastity searches through her mother's belongings in hopes of finding any shred of evidence that leads to her father. A man, she'd always felt was out there...somewhere. Any glimmer of hope is dashed when she reads one tiny line scrawled across the back page of her mother's notebook. One traumatic sentence is all it takes to unravel her life long desire in a matter of seconds. Chastity uncovers the sordid truth, a truth that her mom, Kylie, tried to hide at all costs. This newfound information plunges Chastity into a new world of control, power, and hurt. With the help of her mother s best friend, Cheryl, and Timothy, a handsome attorney hired before her mother's death, Chastity sorts her way through her new found family ties and the costs that come with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An OUTSTANDING Read!!, February 21, 2009

By	M. Conway (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being a guy, I would never expect to pick up a novel such as this. It was recommended to me, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The incredibly talented Mrs. McKay takes you on an engaging, fast-paced story of self-discovery. Imagine having everything you've ever known suddenly jerked out from under you when you discover a secret about your mother's past. You suddenly realize that you aren't who you thought you were, and you do everything in your power to make things right. This story takes you through the entire spectrum of emotions. There is laughter, suspense, fear, excitement, sadness, and love. It helps you see that in spite of all the terrible things in the world, there ARE good people out there who can make all the difference. READ THIS BOOK! IT'S WORTH IT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a book I couldn't put down, April 7, 2009

By	Kimberly Bricker "Kimberly Bricker" (Gaithersburg, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It has taken me 2 years to find a good book to read. The first page sucked me in and I was hooked until the end. Having recently lost my Mother, I could related to the emotions Chasity was feeling. I wish the book would have continued on to the second chapter in her life.........I can only hope that will be book number 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding enjoyment, February 22, 2009

By	Jennifer Coggin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Once I began this book I couldn't put it down, I read it cover to cover in two days.If i had not needed to work in between I easily could've finished in one. The story was compelling, and you truly feel the characters are your friends. You wn't want to put it down and we are all waiting expectedly for the sequel, and the screenplay!
