Downfall

Giselle is always falling, due to her weak ankles. But what happens when the ideal Mormon woman "falls" headlong in love with Jordan, fellow teacher who's a non-member? Gasp! Her off-beat mother tries to dissuade her, but accident-prone Giselle can't stop herself. Jordan is just too wonderful. And he's not even scared off by her crazy family. Until something happens to change it all. Jordan is haunted by a terrible secret, a painful past that threatens their relationship. Can love really transcend all, or is it just a foolish fantasy? A romantic comedy about letting go, this LDS novel can make you laugh, make you think, and leave you with hope. Giselle Hammond is a freshly minted kindergartner teacher with high hopes of shaping young minds. What she wasn't planning on is meeting Jordan, a smooth, charming, and gorgeous fourth-grade teacher. She has no choice but to "fall" head over heels for him, though she wasn't looking for love. Giselle introduces Jordan to the church, and her quirky family with problems all their own. Jordan introduces Giselle to an all-encompassing love she never thought herself capable of. This LDS novel includes many of the typical clichés Mormons are known for that both LDS and general public can appreciate. Also a conversion story, as Jordan is introduced to a life of hope he never realized. My goal as an author was to show the church in a positive but realistic light, as even the most wholesome looking-family on the outside can experience struggles and temptation. I hope you enjoy this quirky romance that holds both humor and substance.
