Twenty-seven-year-old Caitlyn McIntyre is one year out of a bad marriage, two weeks late on rent for her crappy apartment, and three days from losing her job. The redhead from Vermont thought she'd gotten past the tragedies in her life when she escaped to beautiful Saint Simons after her divorce. But Caitlyn's curls, piled into a tangled frizz in the oppressive Georgia heat, are as unmanageable as her life as she finds herself facing not only unemployment, but also having to give up the sewing business and life she'd fought hard to establish. Her fears are allayed when Nick, a real estate developer on Saint Simons Island, is in sudden need of a nanny for his autistic son. But the chemistry between Caitlyn and Nick adds to Caitlyn's problems, especially when the rumors of Nick being a womanizer appear to be true. Over the course of two years, Caitlyn takes on an anxious preschooler, a foreign exchange student, the entitlement of the wealthy, and her growing attraction to her boss. GINGERLY is an uplifting and often humorous novel about the paths women must take to find their identity and build a life they're proud of.

Imagine Dr. Seuss meets a neuroscientist, and what is born out of that union, is this book, Amy Amygdala. Amy moves in and helps us discover that it's a curious thing why we sometimes become impulsively reactive or explosive in stressful, fearful or alarming circumstances with others. It's as if something is triggered in our brain that causes us to act more emotionally, without thinking and in ways we may soon regret. In those circumstances, if our brains were hooked up to sensors, we would see our Amygdalae, the small almond shaped portion of our brain triggered. Sometimes, before the thinking part of our brain can catch up, we impulsively act out. This book takes us on that journey to understand this process and discover more effective and productive ways to navigate through some of life's challenges.
