Familiar Ground is not your typical guy meets girl, they fall in love, have wild monkey sex, and live happily ever after. This book is much more than that. It's about overcoming the obstacles of life, and learning how to start living for yourself. Leah and Adam help each other cope, heal, and learn about family roles in addiction.
Adam gets the phone call he has been dreading. Addiction has finally taken his only sister. How could this have happened to him, to her, and to his family? What Adam didn’t expect though, was to find out his sister had an even bigger secret...a daughter.
When Leah’s brother's girlfriend passes away he decides to get his life together. There's only one little bitty thing standing in the way, his daughter. Overnight Leah goes from an average college student just trying to survive, to a temporary mother.
Leah and Adam take on the task together, and the rest is history. They have the most amazing chemistry. The way they relate and interact together is mind-blowing, and very hot. They clearly are the perfect couple.
This book is very relatable; we all know someone or have lost someone to addiction.
This book will touch your heart, and have you crying. Great job Michelle Lynn for once again bringing us a unique book that hasn’t been done before.

“Do you want to talk about it?” I
hesitantly ask, running my own finger along the steering wheel.
“I’m not sure. It’s just all so
crazy in my head. Nothing makes sense. Nothing is going as I’ve planned.”
“Sometimes the best things that
happen are the ones you least expect,” I say, like some damn philosophy
professor.
She turns to me with a serious
face. “Adam, what if Shane doesn’t get clean? What if he can’t do it?” A tear
clings to her lashes before falling from her eye and trailing down her cheek.
Michelle moved
around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before
settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides
with her husband and two kids. She
developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for
her passion to write. With the
encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many
stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or
writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the
phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around twin preschoolers
all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to
bed.
