Twelve-year-old BFF’s Ginnie West and Tillie Taylor, want to be sisters. Ginnie's widowed dad plus Tillie's divorced mom could equal a lifetime of round-the-clock girl talk and slumber parties. Too bad Dad vowed to never marry again.
Ginnie and Tillie come up with the perfect scheme to change his mind: ‘Operation Secret Sisters’ (aka OSS). After all, if they can’t get Dad to move on, Tillie can’t move in.
When Monique isn’t writing, you can find her playing taxi driver to one or more of her 12 children, plotting her next novel, scrapbooking, or being the “Mamarazzi” at any number of child-oriented events.
Even though she realizes there will never be enough hours in any given day, Monique tries very hard to enjoy the journey that is her life. She shares it with a terrific husband, her dozen children and 3 in-law kids, eleven granddarlings, 5 cats, and many real and imaginary friends.
She is the author of five published books (and several unpublished ones) and is in two anthologies. You can find more about Monique and her works at: www.moniquebucheger.blogspot.
“Very funny.” Ginnie squelched the urge to roll her eyes. “But this is Uncle Jake’s fault.”
Her uncle’s eyebrows scrunched together. “In what universe?”
“He was my second choice.” Dad shot Ginnie a warning look and turned to his brother.
“Yeah, because Toran couldn’t possibly be at fault.” Ginnie crossed her arms again and glared. “Because he’s perfect.”
Dad raised a warning finger. “Do you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
“That huge cracking sound.” He steeled his gaze on her. “It’s the sound of you stepping on very thin ice. Keep it up and you’re grounded.”
