Annie Chambers' life is in turmoil. Pregnant and alone, facing the pressure of a man she doesn't love who wants to marry her, and recently unemployed, she feels like she's losing control. Then she meets Cassie Heart. Thrown together in an antenatal class, the two women form an immediate bond, supporting each other through the highs and lows of pregnancy. In Cassie, Annie finds not only a friend but a kindred spirit-someone who challenges her to face a secret she's buried for years. When Annie was eighteen, she confronted her mother about her sexuality, only to be dismissed as "just going through a phase." Fearing her family's disapproval, Annie buried her true desires and moved on. Now, confronted with her growing feelings for Cassie, Annie must question the path she's been on-marrying a man she doesn't love for the sake of her baby. But fate intervenes, halting the marriage and forcing Annie to confront the emotions she has denied for so long. As a new life begins with the arrival of her baby, Annie must decide if there's a place for Cassie in her heart-and in her future. When a shocking revelation tests their connection, Annie and Cassie are pushed to face the truths they've been avoiding. Can they overcome their fears and find the unique, heartfelt ending they both deserve? Kindred Hearts is a story of love, self-discovery, and the courage to embrace your true self.
