EVELYN PALFREY

"Bobbie" Strickland, an Austin elementary school principal, couldn't really believe ex-army officer Ray Caldwell was coming on to her. She isn't a young girl anymore, and, besides, she has bigger priorities than a relationship--such as fighting her own daughter in court for custody of her grandchild.

Yet strong, honest Ray has the "right stuff" to make her feel like a desirable woman again. He has come back to Texas to heal, stunned by a divorce he never expected. Soon, he is entangled in Bobbie's life, increasingly worried about the violence surrounding her daughter, Darlene, who is caught up in a web of drug addiction and secrets.

Neither Bobbie nor Ray can guess how desperately Darlene is fighting to escape the demons of her past . . .in a drama that will test the strength of African American faith-and-family values and all the courage in a woman's heart.

"There is challenge--and joy--at every stage of life. Enjoy the one you're in now. It will last too long going through it--and not long enough looking back on it. Look forward to the next one. It will bring its own challenges--and joy."
