With one swoop Deena is homeless. Martin has moved out and her son has started serving his country. Lauren is off living her life in a different state. Deena has no where to go. Until is she rings up the professor to see if he’ll let her stay with him.
This novel handles the subject of an affair from inside the eye of the storm with honesty. Deena’s challenge being homeless brings to light how our lives can seem picture perfect and within one decision be turned upside down. We think we’ll never be the other person till our own pride and choices become our downfall. Deena’s story is one I think each of us can relate to in some way.
