Almost Enough
By Meredith Kennon
On the morning of her seventeenth birthday, any hopes that Gilda Morris might have had for a special day are dashed when she hears on the wireless that England has declared war with Germany. Handicapped from birth, Gilda does not get an opportunity to do her bit in the war until four years later. Her neighbor and friend, Mrs. Eleanor Wood, determinedly gets Gilda called up to do war work at her home, Grey Stone Manor in Warwickshire, where she provides accommodation for airmen stationed at the nearby training field. Within hours of her service, Gilda is able to forget her own disabilities as she witnesses the many sacrifices made by others. Out from under her mother’s critical eye, Gilda begins to realize that there is more to her than her deformities. She becomes part of a world to which she had never before been exposed, sees firsthand the vagaries of human nature, and believes that it is almost enough until she finds herself very much in love.

Tattered Letters
Meredith's second book is set to be released around April 1, 2009.
Tattered Letters
By Meredith Kennon
An unknown casualty of World War II surfaces some thirty-three years later, when in 1979, Dale Johnson is forced to confess to his married daughter, Beth Anne Mosher, that she was the product of a war-time love affair. His wife was duped, he admits, into adopting his own child when her biological mother thought that she was dying of tuberculosis in England. Sick and afraid to take her illegitimate daughter home to her rigid parents, Maggie Paxton made the mistake of a lifetime and sent her baby girl to America and then lived to regret it. It is not until the adopting mother dies of breast cancer and the daughter fears the same for herself that her father is compelled to tell her that she had been adopted and regrettably never told. He opens what he fears will be Pandora’s Box, but what proves instead to be the revival of long lost truths that no one person could have guessed, because each of them held only one piece of the puzzle. As the pieces of truth come together and trust evolves, old and new romances can come out of the darkness of deception and into the light of day.

Under the Same Umbrella
Meredith's first book was released today. It is now available to buy here. It will also be available on Amazon soon.
Under the Same Umbrella
By Meredith Kennon
After her mother's death and at her request, thirty-six year old Londoner, Carrie Townsend, travels to America to meet a stranger, Janet Larson, her mother's long-distance friend of many years. Travel-weary and broken-hearted, Carrie knows only that she is to learn things from Janet that her mother, Rachel, could not bear to tell her herself. She has always known that she was born on Long Island in 1969 to an unwed mother, but until now had never thought to question her mother's connection to Janet and the history that they shared. This meeting is not easy for Janet either who has learned over time to put her past tragedies to rest and live peacefully in the present. Neither Carrie nor Janet can foresee that their future happiness hinges on their connection to each other and the past. In the safety of the small town of Settler's Grove, Carrie finds comfort for her grief, balm for her guilt, companionship in the form of a six year old boy, and finally romance when she least expects it.
