As if They Always Knew (The Continuing Story of Shelly, Carla, Jesse and Reuben from As if They Held Forever)
Shelly, a young widow who had been sleep-walking through the last year of her life after her husband's untimely death, finally wakes up to the call of adventure. In her garage are the motorcycles her husband left behind and she finds she can't get the unrealized dream out of her mind. What would it be like to learn to ride?
The intriguing question haunts her and she makes plans to call someone who can lend a hand—someone she had heard was single again. Did she want to contact her late husband's best friend because he could help or was there more than the desire to ride urging her forward?
Her mother had always said she was a dare-devil but Shelly learns that handling a heavy, motorized machine on two wheels in her risky quest to ride, might be easier than dealing with her teacher's beautiful ex-wife.
And when Shelly uncovers a secret that causes her heart to crumble and shakes her whole world—she has to decide how much she is going to let the devastating knowledge affect the rest of her life—especially when even her inner dare-devil is afraid.
Shelly's passion for life will take her for an intriguing ride she will never forget and it will be "the ride of her life."
