Title: Searching for Tomorrow (Tomorrows #1)
Author: Kathryn McNeill Crane
Release Date: October 13, 2013
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Some people are blessed to find that one certain person who completes them.
Wrynn’s yesterdays were what others only dream of having. She and Tripp were the best of friends before they even thought about love. They had the fairy tale life where ‘like’ turns into ‘love’, and ‘love’ becomes ‘happily ever after’.
What happens when life conspires against you, and snatches your soul mate from your arms?
…only her forever love ended much too soon.
Broken beyond her own ability to repair, Wrynn boxes up her grief and attempts to raise her three girls the best she can on her own. As time slowly passes, Wrynn relives her life with Tripp while struggling most days to get out of bed. She is reminded of him at every turn.
How do you set your grief and anguish aside? How do you pick up the shattered pieces, put those pieces back together again, and try to move on?
Wrynn tries to find the joy in life every single day through her daughters, family, and friends. Her twin brother Liam has dedicated himself to helping Wrynn put her life back together after losing his own love. On the other hand, her mother-in-law lives to torment her at every turn. Wrynn can't even find a chance to breathe, much less a desire to somehow search for her tomorrow.

5 Star Review
I can't even put into words how absolutely Beautiful this story is. I will say this it is emotional, it is heartbreaking, and it breathtaking !!!!! Buy It. Read it. Enjoy it as much as I did.
Honestly this deserves more than 5 stars and I hope that one day we get the option to rate more than 5 stars for authors.
How can I explain this story without giving away a whole lot, because honestly the reader needs to feel the full effect of this story without and spoiler’s in my opinion. So with that said let’s see what I can do without spoiling this for anyone.
This story is going to pull you in from the first few pages. You will experience some true emotions with this story. Those emotions being, loss, heartache, love. You will experience the true meaning of family and of friendship. Definitely make sure that you have some tissues handy because you surely are going to need them.
Kathryn’s debut novel is breathtaking. I can tell you that it left a mark in my heart that will be there for the rest of my life.
Wrynn and Liam are twins who become friends with Tripp in grade school. The three of them become best friends, always spending time together whenever they can. Tripp’s mother is definitely not the best mother in the world. She is a snot nose upper class B****, and anytime Tripp can he is at Wrynn and Liam’s house with them. Their parents are the greatest and bring Tripp in and except them into their family like one of their own.
As they all grow up friendship between Wrynn and Tripp turns into love. One amazing true love story develops. The love between Tripp and Wrynn is truly a one of a kind. I love how Kathryn showed us just how much they meant to each other with the past playing out in the story.
Wrynn having to deal with the outcome of a tragedy, and keep herself together for their children was truly amazing. Honestly I don’t know how she did it.
"Tripp was my best friend, my lover, my confidant, my soul mate. He was the salt to my pepper. He was the peanut butter to my chocolate, and he alone brought me love and hope and joy. Together we created our three beautiful girls and together we looked at the world as ours to conquer. In short, he was my other half, the part that completed me."
That’s all your going to get from me. I truly don’t want to ruin it for anyone, I can not even go so far as to tell you if there is an HEA or not. You truly need to experience this book from beginning to end without the spoilers in between to get the full effect of what you are reading. I will say that there is a Big twist that comes into play towards the end of the book.
Kathryn thank you for sharing your story with us. Thank you for showing us what military people go through everyday. I know from experience that being a military wife is not an easy task, that it is not all butterflies and rainbows. Hopefully other’s will have a better understanding of what our military men sacrifice for us everyday after reading this story.

Finding Hope for Tomorrow (Tomorrow #2)
One fateful night. Convictions forgotten. Foundations crumbled.
For the past ten years, Liam lived his life with one foot in the present. He spent time with his parents, his sister Wrynn and her three daughters, and worked to build his business. His other foot was firmly planted in yesterday where his memories tortured him. Despite encouragement from friends and family, Liam rarely considered dating for fear of ruining another person’s life. After all, he obviously hurt Lara to the point that she ran with no further contact. Just when he met someone and felt ready to move on, that voice from his past once again exploded into his life.
Unexplained absence. Lives forever changed. Secrets revealed.
Fleeing was a way of life for Lara. When a call came ten years ago, Lara may have left Highlands, but her heart stayed behind with Liam. Now, another call gave Lara the words she needed so that she could safely return to the only place that soothed her soul. While anxious about seeing Liam after so many years, Lara knew that her reappearance would be the easy part for Liam and his family to deal with. What she worried about was the other information that she’d held close to her heart.
When past collides with present, one soul finds hope for tomorrow, and the other mourns for things that can never be.

About the Author
Kathryn is a simple country girl who likes to spend time with her hubba, hunka hubby, her three kids and her friends. She loves to cook and really loves to eat! During the spring and summer, you will more than likely find her outside puttering around in her garden. When the veggies start coming in, she will probably be sweating over a hot canner in the kitchen, canning all the goodies she is blessed with. Kathryn likes to hike and go camping, and gets to do this pretty often! On cold winter nights, you will probably find her wrapped in a warm blanket, lost in a good book, while sitting in her rocking chair on the front porch!
Kathryn was born and raised in North Carolina, and while she loves to travel, she can't imagine ever leaving the mountains that she has come to call home. Not a day goes by that Kathryn doesn't thank God for abundantly blessing her. He has been so good to her, and she is very grateful. She holds Jeremiah 29:11 very close to her heart and believes it with every fiber of her being. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Kathryn loves flip flops, chocolate, sweet tea and dirt between her toes. As far back as she can remember, she's had a book in her hand. Reading has carried her to places she will never go. It has introduced her to people that she will never meet. When life is great and when it is rough, she's always been able to find a book to carry her through. She finally decided to write down some of the stories in her head and heart after dawdling around and wasting years dreaming. She hopes you enjoy reading those stories as much as she loves writing them!

Excerpt:
“Wrynn.” His whisper broke the silence. That one anguished word brought me to my feet and forward, into his arms. I had no doubt this was where I should be–sheltered, enveloped, protected. Loved.
I felt the flex of his muscles when his arms squeezed me tighter. My face burrowed into his chest as I tried to get closer to the heat pouring from his body. His mouth dipped to my ear as he whispered his love for me, and his promise of forever. He apologized for leaving me when he knew I needed him and told me that he would always be there for me.
I turned my head and sought reassurance that he spoke the truth. His lips met mine. Time stopped, and a fire that I had never before felt burned through me. This was no soft, gentle kiss. This was a kiss filled with hunger and desperation. The need flowed between us as I opened my lips beneath his. Our tongues danced together and as Tripp drew my body closer to his, a deep longing-filled moan drew up from the depths of my being. The world around us disappeared as I cleaved urgently to the man who had claimed my very soul.
This was the kiss that I had always longed for. The kiss that marked me as his. The kiss that spoke to me
My 5 Star Review:
"You're my everything. You're the reason I breathe, the reason I
live. I can't imagine my life without you. I've loved you forever, and that
love will never die."
Honestly this deserves more than 5 stars and I hope that one
day we get the option to rate more than 5 stars for authors.

Kathryn’s debut novel is breathtaking. I can tell you that

As they all grow up friendship between Wrynn and Tripp turns
into love. One amazing true love story develops. The love between Tripp and Wrynn is truly a one of a kind. I love how Kathryn
showed us just how much they meant to each other with the past playing out in

Wrynn having to deal with the outcome of a tragedy, and keep

how she did it.

Kathryn thank you for sharing your story with us. Thank you
for showing us what military people go through everyday. I know from experience that being a military
wife is not an easy task, that it is not all butterflies and rainbows.
Hopefully other’s will have a better understanding of what our military men
sacrifice for us everyday after reading this story.
If you are reading this, I think you should know that
"About me" sounds so very pretentious to me. I guess that is what I
am supposed to write about, so here it goes!
Kathryn is a simple country girl who likes to spend time
with her hubba, hunka hubby, her three kids and her friends. She loves to cook
and really loves to eat! During the spring and summer, you will more than
likely find her outside puttering around in her garden. When the veggies start
coming in, she will probably be sweating over a hot canner in the kitchen,
canning all the goodies she is blessed with. Kathryn likes to hike and go
camping, and as a Girl Scout leader, she gets to do this pretty often! On cold
winter nights, you will probably find her wrapped in a warm blanket, lost in a
good book, while sitting in her rocking chair on the front porch!
Kathryn was born and raised in North Carolina, and while
she loves to travel, she can't imagine ever leaving the mountains that she has
come to call home. Not a day goes by that Kathryn doesn't thank God for
abundantly blessing her. He has been so good to her, and she is very grateful.

fiber of her being. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares
the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you

Kathryn loves flip flops, chocolate, sweet tea and dirt between
her toes. As far back as she can remember, she's had a book in her hand.
Reading has carried her to places she will never go. It has introduced her to
people that she will never meet. When life is great and when it is rough, she's
always been able to find a book to carry her through. She finally decided to
write down some of the stories in her head (yes, be scared) and heart after
dawdling around and wasting years dreaming. She hopes you enjoy reading those
stories as much as she loves writing them!
