I
am sick, I am stressed, I am broke and poor, I am upset, I
hate my job, I need to take a trip, I am so unhappy, I am
so sad, I miss my mother and father, my sister lost her job,
I am fat, I can’t find my soul mate, etc. This is definitely
how every day life exists for most of us, and maybe all of
us. I need to find another job; I don’t have any money,
or food to eat. My daughter is a selfish brat, my grandchildren
get on my nerves, I need to be alone, and again this list
is endless. What do we do when life is so unfair?
My solution is the process of reading, and writing, which
is my therapeutic avenue of contemporary sanity. If not, I
will go insane, crazy, and nuts. I get into the mode of reading
a romance novel. A romance novel takes me into another world,
where someone else has conflicts, and most of the time we
share the same battles. This is my solution to sanity.
Right
now I am focused on Gwynne
Foster. “Once
in a Lifetime- the Harrington Series” truly
broke me out of my own problems, conflicts, chaos, and sadness.
I found happiness in the characters in the midst of love.
In Once
in a Lifetime, the two main characters Telford and
Alexis meet when she comes to his house as a housekeeper.
Telford falls instantly in love with Alexis, and her daughter,
Tara. Of course, the skeptics are saying people don’t
fall in love so quickly, but I believe that true love is a
testament to finding your mate in five minutes. I hold this
up, so “shut the front door” and move on.
Ms.
Foster focuses on the Harrington brothers, Telford, Russ and
Drake. I have to admit I stumbled upon Russ’s story
first, “After
the Loving” but this is because Velma is a
full-figured woman, and I was intrigued. Russ instantly feels
the attraction, but Velma has a lot of issues. When I read,
Once
in a Lifetime, Russ and Velma were introduced; Velma
is Alexis’ sister. What is the concept of both sisters
finding love with the Harrington brothers? It does happen,
believe it or not.
Anyway,
Ms. Foster is a talented storyteller in more ways than one.
She had me turning page after page until I turned the last
page, and wanting more. I am pleased to announce that Drake's
story continues in Love
Me or Leave Me. I am currently reading this book
now. Guess what, I haven’t thought once about my illness
or the sadness. I am smiling all over myself and this is because
of Drake and Pamela, who also met in Once
in a Lifetime. The Harrington brothers have a lot
of childhood issues, and they are not easy to live with, but
you have to check out these wonderful books from fantastic
and prolific author, Gwynne Foster. Her books will heal the
sadness and bring joy to your inner being. I guarantee it.
So when sadness, a terrible job, unemployment, the economy
get you down, don’t jump off a building; find a book
by Gwynne
Foster, or any author, and read, read, and read about
romance. You will definitely feel a whole lot better. I feel
just fantastic, illness and all.
