Return to Dawson Falls

Aubree
I’ll take ‘listen to and use my grandma’s advice’ for $500. There are times I feel like my life has played out like a game show taking chances to see if I will win or lose. For the most part, it seems like I am always losing.

“Even though you didn’t win, Aubree, no one goes home empty handed. Tell her what she won, Bob!” The drum roll cues.
“She is going home with a year supply of His Bull Shit! Yes, five years of my ex, Gerald’s, bull shit. is what I get for not listening to my grandma. I lost my job, got kicked out of our house, and I’m $45,000 in debt… not to mention there are drug dealers after me because of HIM. This goes beyond learning a lesson the hard way; it is plain and simple stupidity.

Meeting, and falling in love with Gerald Simmons is the worst thing that could have ever happened to Aubree Rogers. She’s instantly blinded by love when the two become an item, which leads her down a dark and windy path she could have never expected to be on.
Aubree has dreams of becoming a professional dancer and owning a performing arts center to give back to her community, but Gerald’s tendencies of being financially irresponsible and raging drug habit render them broke, and forces Aubree to do something she promised her grandmother she never would. In one night, Aubree’s life turns upside down when she finds out Gerald’s problems are spilling over into her life, and she now becomes responsible for an additional quarter-million-dollar debt, putting her life at stake.
Aubree escapes to the comfort of her grandmother’s home in her hometown of Dawson Falls, where she’s able to start over and reconnect with the friends she left behind. Her dreams of owning a performing arts center have never been closer, but also farther away, than when she meets Grant Hollings, the cause and possible cure to all of her financial troubles.
Grant is looking for a nanny for his daughter Chanel, and what he finds in Aubree is companionship, something he never thought he’d find again after Chanel’s mother turns out to be nothing more than a gold digger. Grant worries Aubree is an opportunist, and Aubree, due to her negligent mother’s experience with men, knows all too well what the involvement with a wealthy man can do to a family. She told herself she’d focus on herself and not worry about love, but Grant’s everything she’s ever wanted. Aubree can finally have it all… as long as her past doesn’t catch up to her present…
