The Box of Possibilities

A Magical Second Chance

Quinn Hedges treasures her life and her friends in St. Louis. A chance to repay kindness from her past seems risk-free.

Until a love from her past shows up.

Doug Linton finally gets his life together. Still he wonders about his one true love from a long time ago.

Seeing her again feels worth the risk.

Neither expects a bizarre heirloom, and the potential of finally getting it right, to take them into the strange.

Can Quinn and Doug find their way through possibilities to each other?

An excerpt from The Box of Possibilities:

Face-to-Face with What Could Have Been



The vehicle slowly resolved itself into a Jeep Cherokee, and a fairly new, nice-looking one at that. The lack of a front license plate was odd, since Illinois and Missouri required them. 


From what Quinn could see of the driver, Cousin Jenny was quite tall.


And had unusually broad shoulders for a woman.


By the time the Cherokee’s turn signal flashed for some unknown and oddly hilarious reason out here in the absolute middle of nowhere, Quinn’s heart sank and sped up at the same time.


She kept looking at the passenger seat, trying to conjure the woman she’d never seen before. Perhaps accompanied by her husband or son.


But the seat remained empty.


And when the Jeep parked behind her car, Quinn finally stopped pretending.


That was Doug.


Even through the dusty windshield, there was no mistaking that smile.
