Book Cover & Preview Text
It was late August 2000 and Caroline slipped out of the office unnoticed with her journal. When she returned to the condominium that she and her husband, Garrett, had purchased in Buckhead after John and Katie left for college, she found a note on the kitchen counter saying, "Call me - Have News," in Garrett's unmistakable handwriting. Caroline dialed his cell phone number. It rang until it went to voice mail. "Okay, Garrett, what is your news?" was her message. She disconnected the call and went to the kitchen for a diet coke and walked to the French doors that opened onto the balcony. She sat in the chair that most clearly allowed her to see the Atlanta skyline in the evening. Their condominium was in the heart of Buckhead at Park Place. The unit was on the thirty-seventh floor and their views of the Atlanta skyline were spectacular, especially at night. She was dying to know what "news" he had.

About the Book
It is August 2000 and Caroline Winthrop is still passionate about helping women and children who are victims of domestic violence. Although her nonprofit foundation is now a Georgia state agency, Caroline continues to be involved with fundraising and occasionally in the operation of the home. As she helps yet another woman progress through the New Beginnings program, Caroline has no idea that in the future, she will use the information to make profound changes to Georgia laws. As Caroline’s passion takes on a new level of commitment and launches her into unfamiliar territory, her husband, Garrett, is presented with the best career opportunity of his life. But as Garrett tackles his latest challenge and Caroline’s mother and their two college-age children face their own issues, Caroline and Garrett find they have little time to slow down. Still, she and Garrett look forward to the future when they hope to enjoy life together. But just as they begin to make plans for their retirement, tragedy strikes and changes everything. In this continuing historical tale, a wealthy Southern matriarch and her family members each embark on a quest to find a new beginning where they discover that change is the only certainty in life.
