For Shelly Bergen, a young professional woman on the fast track to business and personal success, the idea of having three young girls entering her life was about as unlikely as striking oil and discovering gold in her kitchen on the same day. Destiny, however, had a mind of its own. Shelly possessed a unique talent for merchandising and marketing, and her achievements in the commercial world allowed her to invest in properties at a time when most others her age still were renting; merely dreaming about their futures. Jim Bloom was a national best-selling author and, in Shelly, Jim saw the woman he'd been waiting for. However, there were logistical hurdles to overcome, including distance and two very different career paths. Would love finally conquer all, and push these barriers aside? Then, there was Karen Wakefield, a woman with three young girls on a journey through life littered with obstacles. Regardless of her challenges, Karen was a hard worker and a resourceful survivor, and each new challenge brought opportunity. Carolina, Virginia, and Dakota; the three young girls she loved without limits - the ones who always came first, even if that meant constantly looking over her shoulder. What did Karen have to hide, and whom was she running from? Pete Downs was a con artist - a man who made his living at the expense of those around him. Never one to take a pass when it came to making an easy buck, Downs had a special knack with persuasion. Would his silver tongue wend its way into Karen's household, or, would she exploit his many connections for her own benefit? Four unique people, two with histories of success, two with things to hide, and all on an unplanned course that will bring them together. I am Your Mother is a fictional mystery story, but it's as real as life.
