Our Beautiful Mess is a gripping, messy story about perfectly imperfect families, bad choices, secrets and pasts coming back to haunt them. But don’t worry…it’s a thriller and will have you on the edge of your seat with the ending an out of the park homerun!
Connie and her husband Luke are preparing for their Christmas Holiday. With all three girls coming home, Connie is going to make sure it’s the perfect merry time between now and the New Year. Everything Connie does is perfect. Flora, the eldest is coming in, Fran who is away at college will be there and their youngest, in grade school Sophie of course is looking forward to whatever drama is going to unfold.
But what Connie and Luke had not prepared for was when daughter Fran arrives, she has her boyfriend, unknown to them with her and they discover she is pregnant and keeping the baby. Connie is flabbergasted and doesn’t understand why Fran had not told her. She thought she had not only a great relationship with her girls, but they were comfortable enough to tell her anything and everything…apparently not.
As Connie begins to contemplate how this pregnancy will impact not only Fran and school, but the family, she also can’t get over this feeling that Zac seems a bit familiar. She can’t put her finger on it yet…
This is when the perfect holiday and the perfect family begin to crack. Zac has secrets, Connie figures out who Zac is and the upcoming holiday season becomes a holiday mess like crumbling Christmas cookies!
But Connie is the strong matriarch of the family, and she will do anything in her power to fight for them, no matter what that means. She will not allow her beautiful family to be destroyed.
Our Beautiful Mess is captivating in more ways than one, with many moving parts, but it’s the fight for family and the love and care and the determination to let nobody come between them is the impetus to it all. Family first!
