Ednorscardens Stories

"The Hurting Year", the third installment of the Charm City Chronicles series, continues the story of sixteen-year-old Kate Fitzgerald in 1960's Baltimore, Maryland. Having an older boyfriend does have its perks - until he leaves to go to college. Kate's troubles quickly multiply when her beloved Nana falls ill, and her best friend, Anita, faces personal disaster. When things seem like they couldn't possibly get worse, Kate pays an impromptu visit to boyfriend Michael's dorm, and her life spirals out of control. What happens in the aftermath sets events into motion that will change her life forever.

Kate Fitzgerald's and Michael Kelsey's high school romance has survived the trial of the predatory priest, and they spent the summer healing at the Kelsey's beach house. That should mean a blissful future, but Michael's former girlfriend has set her sights on reclaiming his affections now that he has become a star quarterback. Can Kate compete with his older ex, who is only too willing to do whatever it takes to get Michael back? Read the sequel to EDNOR SCARDENS in Book 2 of the Charm City Chronicles!
