Filled with small-town charm, When Cicadas Cry will tug at your emotions and make your heart flutter a little bit faster." -Shelley, 2 Book Lovers Reviews "In a touching narrative, Laura presents us with a beautiful and charming love story about Rem and Ashley. The girl from the big city that, for some reason, is drawn to that small rural town. The boy from the small town that, for some reason, is lost in those beautiful eyes from that mysterious girl. The boy and the girl who discover together the beauty of small, simple things, but mostly the value of love... real love. ...So with a clean, simple, lightweight narrative, Laura once again touched my heart, my soul, my emotions, as only she can do, warming this heart that was getting lost in the big city rush, falling into silence in the din of the crowd, and growing cold under the weight of life." -Fernanda Aragao, Cinco Garotas Exemplares This is my first book where I have woven two perspectives into one story. So, you'll get to hear both the guy's and the girl's thoughts throughout the book.   Additionally, all my books take place in rural Missouri, and more specifically, in or around the area where I grew up. And  When Cicadas Cry  is no exception. I really enjoy writing stories where the setting and the characters make me feel as if I'm back home. That's how I felt writing  When Cicadas Cry . And I'm hoping readers feel that way, too.   And in the end,  When Cicadas Cry  is for people who want to re-experience what it's like to fall in love for the first time and also for those who just want to follow two lives and watch them as they make mistakes and stumble and laugh.
