Welcome to another edition of Six Sentence Story Thursday Link Up, in which the given word is “knot.” Since this word was used recently as a prompt, I’m sharing my previous response, an excerpt from My Ideal Partner: How I Met, Married, and Cared for the Man I Loved Despite Debilitating Odds. Please see below for details on how you can get this and two of my other books free from Smashwords for the rest of the month. You can click here to participate in this week’s hop and read other bloggers’ six-sentence creations.

We both ordered pancakes and sausages. My stomach was so tied up in knots. I didn’t think I could get anything down, but when we were ready to leave, my plate was empty except for one sausage, which I offered to Bill and he accepted.

Sixteen-year-old Natalie’s grandmother, suffering from dementia and confined to a wheelchair, lives in a nursing home and rarely recognizes Natalie. But one Halloween night, she tells her a shocking secret that only she and Natalie’s mother know. Natalie is the product of a one-night stand between her mother, who is a college English teacher, and another professor.
After some research, Natalie learns that people with dementia often have vivid memories of past events. Still not wanting to believe what her grandmother has told her, she finds her biological father online. The resemblance between them is undeniable. Not knowing what else to do, she shows his photo and website to her parents.
Natalie realizes she has some growing up to do. Scared and confused, she reaches out to her biological father, and they start corresponding.
Her younger sister, Sarah, senses their parents’ marital difficulties. At Thanksgiving, when she has an opportunity to see Santa Claus, she asks him to bring them together again. Can the jolly old elf grant her request?
