Truly, Madly, Deeply Part of the Baxter Family Series

Description

When eighteen-year-old Tommy Baxter tells his family that he wants to be a police officer, his mother, Reagon, won’t hear of it. After all, she’s still mourning the 9/11 death of her father, and–with civil unrest in the streets–Reagan is determined to keep her son safe from danger. But conflict rises when Tommy’s father, Luke, approves of Tommy’s decision. After all, Tommy would make a kind and compassionate cop.

Meanwhile, Tommy is in love for the first time. His sweet relationship with Annalee Miller is almost too good to be true. Tommy begins thinking about the far-off day when he might propose. But Annalee hasn’t been feeling well, and medical tests reveal the unthinkable.

While his girlfriend begins the fight of her life, secrets come to light that rock Tommy’s world, and he becomes determined to spend his future fighting crime and making his community safer. Or is he just compensating for the battle he cannot win–the one facing Annalee?
