"Bobbie"
Strickland, an Austin elementary school principal, couldn't really
believe ex-army officer Ray Caldwell was coming on to her. She isn't
a young girl anymore, and, besides, she has bigger priorities than
a relationship--such as fighting her own daughter in court for custody
of her grandchild.
Yet
strong, honest Ray has the "right stuff" to make her feel
like a desirable woman again. He has come back to Texas to heal,
stunned by a divorce he never expected. Soon, he is entangled in
Bobbie's life, increasingly worried about the violence surrounding
her daughter, Darlene, who is caught up in a web of drug addiction
and secrets.
Neither
Bobbie nor Ray can guess how desperately Darlene is fighting
to escape the demons of her past . . .in a drama that will test
the strength of African American faith-and-family values and
all the courage in a woman's heart. |
What
would be the proper question to ask your husband of twenty years
when he brings home his illegitimate baby as casually as a bag of
groceries?
Left
alone with this tiny, helpless bundle that disgusts and fascinates
her, Vivian faces some of the hardest choices of her life. Austin, TX 78714 |
