Description
As the 1960s come to a close and the new decade begins, Rob Grant finds that he needs the courage of a lion to cope with both adversity and heartbreak. His younger son is drug free but needs to be closely monitored, and Rob’s Wall Street job situation is such that he’s edgy about what the future holds. At the same time, his companion, Luisa, with family worries of her own, gets totally immersed in her retail business—and in major plans to expand. Could it be that their yearlong affair has run its course? Then in December, while Rob is in Australia on company business, he runs into a former sweetheart. Their love is still alive and it offers them hope for the future. But in the spring, a potentially fatal health issue emerges and there are other unwelcome reversals that test Rob’s mettle. It’s fortunate that there’s another woman in the picture: Kim, someone whose strength and steadfast support help him through the most difficult period he’s ever known. And their bond grows. But Rob has a recurring dream about a woman he’s never met. What might that foretell?
