What if the person who knew you

beautiful love story written by a masterful storyteller who happens to be a
nurse.

Readers say:
Heartbreakingly
beautiful.
I felt
drawn to Jack and Sara from page one and find myself wondering about them even
now.
The book is
very well-written and believable.
A heartfelt
tender story that is entertaining and emotionally gripping!
A real page
turner and it gives you insights of the daily life events living with this crushing
disease called Alzheimer’s.
While not a
"happily ever after" love story, Blue Hydrangeas is sure to be one you will ponder for some
time after you have finished reading it.

About the
Author
Marianne
Sciucco is not a nurse who writes but a writer who happens to be a nurse. A
lover of words and books, she dreamed of becoming an author when she grew up
but became a nurse to avoid poverty. She later brought her two passions
together and writes about the intricate lives of people struggling with health
and family issues. Her debut novel, Blue Hydrangeas, an Alzheimer’s love story,
is a Kindle bestseller, IndieReader Approved, a BookWorks featured book, a
Self-e Selection, a 5-star Readers Favorite, and winner of IndieReCon’s Best
Indie Novel Award, 2014. She's currently working on a YA novel, Swim Season,
about the new girl on the team who challenges a longstanding school record, to
be released in 2015. A native Bostonian, Marianne lives in New York’s Hudson
Valley, and when not writing works as a campus nurse at a community college.
She loves books, the beach, and craft beer, and especially enjoys the three of
them together.
