Disruptions and distractions—the stuff of nightmares for control freaks everywhere. Even for those less OCD people, these two words have negative connotations. Both indicate interference—in a plan or of focus and concentration. But what if we looked at disruptions and distractions in a different way? Welcomed them as just the things that might be needed to get us on the right track.
In Cedar Ridge, Jessica Hayes’s “ideal” life is disrupted when she’s left behind, stranded in a small town. And then (because being abandoned by your fiancé isn’t enough conflict for a good story), she’s served up with a magnificent distraction in the form of a sexy cowboy. Oh my. Could things get any worse? Different people would certainly respond in different, individual ways, and Jessica’s first response is to try to make the best of the hand she’s been dealt. But the longer she stays in Cedar Ridge, the more she realizes maybe the best thing to do is embrace the disruptions and distractions. If everything happens for a reason, they could be the key to the life she’s always dreamed of living. After all, life happens not despite of disruptions and distractions, but in the midst of them.
