Synopsis
Audie Pippin is a 24-year-old veterinary technician at the animal shelter in Sumter, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville. Her carefree life includes friends, marijuana, margaritas, and casual sex - until all of it is jeopardized by her grandmother's failing health. Beth Hester is a 33-year-old nurse at the long-term care facility where Audie's grandmother is admitted after a serious stroke. She's down to earth and mature, her career and financial investments meticulously planned. Compared to Audie, Beth doesn't know the meaning of fun. Through Audie's daily visits, they forge a friendship that draws Beth into a celebration of the fun side of life while opening her eyes to innocent, unselfish love. As Audie surrenders her heart to Beth, she begins to distance herself from the reckless habits of her youth. Just as they're ready to meet in the middle, their future is thrown into doubt by a duty Beth can't ignore. It all comes to a head on the river at Sumter Point.

Customer Reviews

Very engaging
Another first-class read from K G MacGregor. Again she peoples her book with believable characters, doesn't shy away from giving them normal human flaws and in this case they have to deal with a situation that revolves around the aging and death of a character who has meaning for them both. This is a warm, engaging, touching read. I have said in all my reviews of MacGregor's books that she is a first-class writer who employs exemplary dialogue in well structured and credible situations. The only issue I have ever had with her books is that I find it very hard to put them down so I stay awake too late at night! Highly recomended.

Gentle lesbian love story
This is an 'opposites attract' story with the two main protagonists developing a relationship over time as they move closer emotionally and in their approach to life. The 'big event' is signposted fairly early in the story and was the weakest part of the book. I enjoyed it and would recommend it but it could have been better.
