Like so many young girls today that live in single-parent homes, Steph carries the never-ending wound of her father not being in her life. Pop, as her grandfather is called, serves as that warm ray of sunshine she gets to enjoy during her summer vacations in Dallas with her grandparents. Oh, to live the entire year as her crazy grandfather's favorite sidekick would be heaven. The drudgery of the school year back home in Savannah with her impossibly-busy mother is, well, the worst. I Keep you in My Heart, the first of a two-book set, is a story that tells of a young girl's dream of living near her grandfather and finding her father. Hmm? What if she could sway Pop to cook up a plan to find her father? With her powers over him... Easy-peasy. He falls for her twelve-year-old-charms every time. Her mom and grandmother are like sooo not on the list of those who can know of operation "Find Dad," since both would totally kill her if they found out? Be entertained by the crazy antics of Steph's grandfather. Open your heart to the story of a young girl and the guiding, supporting love she receives from her grandparents. Walk with her on her sometimes-difficult path in her first year as a teen.

Take this journey with Steph as she bears within her heart Pop's oft repeated words, "Steph, I keep you in my heart every day." Will his love be enough to carry her to the reality of the brighter day she dreams of?
