Publisher Description
Her life was torn down to the foundation. Rebuilding will take one small miracle at a time.
“Marking Time” continues the story begun in “Treading Water” as Clare Harrington begins a new life. She’s considered a miracle, but everything that’s happened since she recovered from a three-year coma has been something less than miraculous. Now left to grapple with the aftermath of a selfless decision, she is home from the hospital and trying to figure out what the next chapter in her miraculous recovery has in store for her. Meanwhile, her eighteen-year-old daughter Kate, a talented singer and songwriter, sets out to pursue her musical dreams in Nashville. Her parents have agreed to allow Kate to spend a year there, but they couldn't have anticipated Kate falling in love with a much older man. Her newly divorced parents are forced back together to confront their wayward daughter. Spanning from Newport, Rhode Island, to Nashville, Tennessee, to Stowe, Vermont, "Marking Time" is the story of new beginnings and new loves.
Of "Treading Water," reviewers said:
"Treading Water is a definite must read! Treading Water creates an emotional firestorm within the reader. It shines the light on the good and the bad in life and proves that one moment can change everything and it’s never too late to find love. Marie Force grabbed my heart and squeezed every ounce of emotion out of it but most importantly her monumental story left me blissful. Treading Water may be fiction but it gives me hope; hope in everyday people and happily ever after. I cannot wait for the next book in this trilogy, Marking Time." —Joyfully Reviewed, a "Recommended Read" for November!
"This isn't your typical romance where you're positive you're going to get the happy ending you were hoping for at the beginning. It will rip your heart out at times and having you weeping for joy at others. A stunning story about learning to love again and learning when to let go to those you love." —Night Owl Reviews, Reviewer Top Pick

Riveting
I cried, I smiled, I laughed. Great story!
Mixed feelings
The book started really well, and brought me to tears a few times. I was really liking Clare and Aiden’s storyline, but it just didn’t feel realistic that they would fall in love sooo fast, and that Aiden would be head over heels for her kids, almost instantly. The adoption of the kid didn’t appeal to me, and something about them didn’t make me swoon for their romance. It wasn’t the age thing either, something was just, off.
Dont even get me started on Reid and Kate. I was so uncomfortable reading their story that I almost couldn’t finish the book. Every time the story shifted back to them I had to put the book down and mentally prepare myself. Just gross!
Contemplating reading the rest in the series because this one was such a let down.
