Sandra Givens, Sun Lakes resident and author, has just released her new book, It Started with a Kiss, available on Amazon as a paperback or in the Kindle format.

This book is about a young woman’s desire to find true love and happiness. Abandoned by her longtime friend for a girls’ trip, Julia Clark decides to make the best of it and go anyway.

Soon, she finds she might not be alone at all.
