About the Book
Lauryne Scott, an attractive insurance underwriter and consummate daydreamer, kept a fifteen-month journal of her life and exploits. After surviving the aftermath of cocaine-addicted, Harvard-educated Derrick, she tumbles into the arms of Kelly, a charming blue-collar fella with a complicated past. The result? Not the easygoing fantasy she envisioned. To further complicate things, several people enter Lauryne’s life, causing her to ask, “Should I have…
…a magnetic, beautiful man who’s in tune with everything I stand for--but he’s Kelly’s best friend?”
…a successful businessman with everything going for him: Looks, money, and charm--but he’s my cousin?”
…a gorgeous pro football player who worships the ground I walk on--but he’s unavailable?”
…a fetching surgeon who makes me feel good all over--but she’s a woman?”
…a handsome, sought-after local sports hero who’s got it going on--but he’s still in high school?”
Helping Lauryne sort through her love life and the crazy coincidences it seems to bring are her quirky sistahfriends.
When tragedy strikes, Lauryne is forced to rebuild her life and self-worth. Emerging as an unfeeling fraction of herself, she juggles her suitors and coincidental circumstances.
Will she ever recover and find true love--and sense of self?
