Roxanne Snopek, a USA Today bestselling author, writes contemporary small-town romance, usually with strong heroines and true-to-life heroes in stories that contain complications arising from modern family dynamics. She is a former veterinary technician, wife, and mother of three grown daughters, and animals, kids, and husbands are her forte. Emotional conflict, tears, angst--those wretched "growth-opportunity" moments your friends comfort you about--that's what she writes, and readers love it.
