A FICTIONAL ROMANCE INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS Memphis Mae holds the key to her mother's deepest secrets in her journal - but the questions and feelings they arouse in Memphis make her start to doubt everything she has ever known about her mother and what she believed was true love… Memphis Mae is the long-anticipated follow-up to Bound by Memphis, which earned author Jennifer J. Hayes the 2013 Author of the Year Award from the BWABC. More tantalizing glimpses from Jasmine's past are revealed through the eyes of her daughter as she reads her journal, while bringing the events of the first book to stunning conclusion. As Jasmine's words mingle with Memphis' painful experiences, the young lady begins to question what love is - that between our parents, and that in her own life. Far away from her hometown Dallas, Memphis is crawling to the end of her undergrad studies in NYC, struggling with the challenges of adapting to adult life in the Big Apple without the support of her family. As she reads through the torrid pages of her mother's journal, she finds herself swept off her feet by the dashing Fritz Ribeiro, a spontaneous musician who is every inch the sensuous and creative soul. The instant attraction between the two forces her to confront her own feelings - and what she really wants. Her blossoming relationship with Fritz is everything that Memphis once dreamed of, but the whispers of the past that she finds in Jasmine's journal makes her question the love her parents share and her own ability to find her one true love with Fritz - or with anyone. Memphis Mae continues Jasmine's story where Bound by Memphis left off, wrapping its story into a new setting as the old indiscretions of Jasmine reverberate through the years into the present.
