I watched her waving in the rearview mirror and hoped the future would be kind.
When Carrie was out of sight, Crank gave me a smile. “You’ll miss her, won’t you?”
I nodded and sniffed. “I remember how lonely I was my first year of college.”
He reached out and took my hand. “She’ll be okay. She’s got you as a big sister.”
I squeezed his hand back and wondered how I had ever gotten so mad I’d thought about leaving him.
“I love you, Crank.”
“I love you, Julia.”

What Andrea doesn’t know is that her return to the United States will launch a chain of events that will uncover secrets hidden for decades. Secrets which will rock the Thompson family and ignite a political firestorm.
Secrets that some will kill to protect.

Author’s Note
Readers who are sticklers for detail will notice a few inconsistencies between Falling Stars and the other books in the Thompson Sisters series. Each book is intended as a stand-alone novel, and so my focus is on the story at hand.
Acknowledgements
A long story, even a novella, is a complicated undertaking. I had a lot of help from beta readers and other helpers along the way. In particular, thanks to beta readers Andrea Randall, Sarah Griffin, Brett Lewis, Jackie Yeadon, Tanya Spence Hall, Kristen Teaff, Emma Corcoran, Kathy Baker, Windy Wilken, Dimitra Fleissner, Laura Wilson, Bryan James, Michelle Kannan, Amy Burt, Jennifer Mirabelli, Stacey MacDowell Grice, Kirsten Papi, Beth Suit, Rita Jenkins Post, Kelly Moorhouse, Kirsty Lander and Sally Bouley. Your thoughtful and critical comments along the way were a huge help and I'm very grateful!
