Beginning where Grace and Ally came to an end, Surprise Me is a tale of one woman's attempt to rectify her past mistakes, and her daughter's struggle with the demons she thought she had banished.


Ally has altered Grace's life so completely, showing her a love she never expected. She now has Evangeline. She has Chase. Grace is happy, content. She's laid her past rest. Or so she thinks.

Until her mother shows up on her doorstep after twenty-six years of absence.

Donna left her daughter when Grace was in the eighth grade. Without a word, without a sound. With no explanation. And now with her unexpected and shocking return into Grace's life, Grace's memories, her hurt and angst, flood to the surface, and she's left struggling through a plethora of emotions.

What caused Donna to leave her family on that fateful night twenty-six years ago? What brought her to Grace's doorstep now? Will she ever be able to explain her choices to her daughter, and if so, will Grace even listen…?
