NEWLY EDITED by Michele Swindle (March 2013) 

A tragic past defines her. Will love save her or destroy them both?“Here’s what I know: Death abducts the dying, but grief steals from those left behind.” 

About SEEING JULIA: Tragedy. Heartbreak. A decade of loss defines her, but an illicit connection to a stranger saves her, yet leaves her questioning her past, her life, and herself, most of all.

Julia Hamilton stands at the precipice of her life looking over the edge and seeing nothing when Jake Winston literally saves her. The connection between them stirs something deep inside that Julia thought she’d lost long ago. It leaves her questioning everything about her life—herself, most of all.  
Her inability to move on is most definitely tied to her past—a past that seemingly still defines her. She’s lost everyone she’s ever loved and she doesn’t want to lose again. She believes there are too many complications with Jake; but soon Julia must confront the truth—all of it—about her life and even herself in order to be set completely free from her heartbreak and her past.  ++++++++Please be advised that SEEING JULIA contains adult language and adult situations and is not appropriate for young readers.  (Mature Young Adult/ New Adult/Adult Fiction)
