Stay & Just Go

Stay & Just Go. Two fabulous novels of the lives of two women. Their loves, their heartbreaks, their survival, and their breakthroughs. Stay explores the other 'tween stage, the transition into the twenties, and the complexities of being torn between two men. Desperate to escape her chaotic family life, Shay is betwixt and between two men: one who offers the predictable life she craves, while the other encourages the scary prospect of independence. This contemporary novel, set in the 90's, delves into the disturbing complications of a relationship's camouflaged demeanor against true intimacy. It illustrates the contrast between wants and needs, expectations and realities, and the fears one must overcome to experience the best of what life has to offer. The epilogue fast forwards to a generation later, showing that although times change, human psychology does not! It all ties up to a heart-stirring, unforgettable ending. Will she stay with the man who loves her, or go back to the man she loves? They both want her to Stay. "Just Go" Young love. A move a million miles away. A mother who hides letters. The hand of fate holds the letters, proving that love is timeless and fate can bide its time. Horace and Hattie grapple with the consequences of marrying the wrong people for all the wrong reasons. They cope the best they can as provocative Maddy takes what she wants until she gets what she deserves, abusive Paul gets things his way until his ways are turned against him, and their children challenge them in ways as different as their personalities: the jailbird who never outgrew the terrible twos and doubts his own infallibility, the daughter who mistakenly thinks love will sustain her, and the genius who doubts his own sanity as he plots an insane plan. In the end, no matter the paths taken or circumvented, fate guides Horace and Hattie to its willed destination of what was meant to be. No matter what, come hell or high water, death or self-destruction, fate has the final say . . . Because nothing outfoxes the plans of fate!
