Blake O’Hare Heart is an
attorney and narrator of the story. Her best friend, Vivi Ann McFadden, thinks
her main squeeze and Blake’s brother in law, Lewis is dead. Blake contacts her
husband Harry and they all go to claim the body from a local hotel. One
problem, the body is gone, but the sex toys are recovered. Where is Lewis
Heart? Sonny Bartholomew is Blake’s high school flame, the town sheriff, and
newly divorced. He still loves Blake and senses she feels the same. Blake
planned to ask Harry for a trial separation before Lewis disappeared. Harry’s
more focused on the possibility of a scandal because he plans to run for the
Senate. Blake’s grandmother and mother are the grand dames of the town. All go
to them for advice and comfort. Maybe even the missing Lewis. Blake tries to
focus on something else and returns to her pet project, saving a local
landmark. Her opponents give Blake a lesson in how politics works. Harry’s part
in the deal and a dalliance with a local reporter sever his marriage ties.
Blake is free to pursue Sonny and doesn’t waste time. The ending brings
surprises and revelations of the past.
Sonny and Blake make a
true couple. So much love and emotion left to simmer over the years brings them
together. Lewis and Vivi start as a joke, but the bond is true.
I love the fact the
women use their full names, especially maiden names. It brings me back to my
youth where strong women presided over their families and the town. Sought for
their wisdom and love, they opened the door to all who knocked.

About
the Author:
After knowing Beth
Albright for just a few short seconds you are sure to learn she is from
Alabama. No, it’s not the lilt of magnolia you can still catch in her voice, or
even the way she lovingly describes her undying love for her famous alma
mater's football champions. She will tell you she loves Tuscaloosa, even after
living quite literally all over the country. Though Beth has had a remarkable
career, from New York City to Hollywood, and all points in between, she has
never forgotten where she came from...and what she loves. That's why when it
came time to write, Beth had no choice but to write about Tuscaloosa and The
University of Alabama, and all the quirky people she still calls family, though
some do not actually share her bloodline!
Beth Albright has always
been a storyteller. After spending nearly 15 years in talk radio, as a talk
show host, playing the part of a principal character on the soap opera, DAYS OF
OUR LIVES, owning her own acting school and children's theater, and raising a
son who is a nationally ranked figure skater, Beth has decided to return to her
roots; storytelling. When she was in the sixth grade, her teacher gave her the
floor every Friday to tell her stories. See, Beth was a talker, a future talk
show host in the making, and she was telling stories so much that her teacher
couldn't teach. Well, this brilliant teacher told 12 year old Beth if she would
begin writing her stories down, she would be allowed time to share those
stories with the class. And she's been writing, AND talking ever since. Beth
has interviewed Bob Hope, Oprah Winfrey, Betty White, Wolfgang Puck and George
Burns live from the Chinese Theatre, as well as numerous other celebrities, and
authors. Then Beth became a principal character on Days of Our Lives. But
through all of the excitement of talk shows and soap operas, Beth loved telling
stories to her audience the most. With a degree in Journalism from her beloved
University of Alabama, She remains true to her roots and has never forgotten
where she comes from. Born and raised in Tuscaloosa, "My grandfather was
the play by play announcer for the Crimson Tide in the 50s!" Beth will
proudly tell you, she is a down homespun girl, although she currently lives in
San Francisco with her TV producer husband and her brilliant son. She has just
completed her first trilogy, The Sassy Belles, and her first screen play, Kiss
Me Goodnight.
