Deanna Lynn Sletten,comes a fiction story that will touch your soul.
Widow, Virgin, Whore Widow... Katherine, the conservative realist.
Virgin... Denise, the shy, unassuming sister.
Whore... Darla, the outrageous, reckless sister.
The heartwarming, sometimes irreverent story of three very different women finding their destinies in the face of AIDS.
Description: When recently widowed Katherine Samuals purchases a home to share with her son, Christopher, and best friend, Denise Richards, the last thing she expects is to include Denise's outrageous sister, Darla Richards, into the household. But Katherine concedes to Denise's request because she adores Darla's daughter, Chelsea, and feels this is a good opportunity to give the young teen a real home environment. Living with Darla is anything by easy. She parties too much, sleeps with too many men, and speaks her mind, without apology. To conservative Katherine, and shy Denise, her behavior is detestable. Then, when Darla is diagnosed with AIDS, the household is turned upside-down. Katherine finds herself thrown into Darla's life, first as her caregiver, then as her companion as she explores the devastating lives of AIDS victims. Katherine's fledgling writing career flourishes as she shares the experiences of Darla's AIDS group in newspaper articles across the country. Denise finds true love for the first time in her thirty-six years, but struggles at the inappropriate timing of her personal happiness. Surprisingly, Darla also finds love - real love - in the strangest of places. As the household struggles with the stress of living with a terminal illness, Katherine, Denise, and Darla learn just how strong and deep their bond of friendship, and sisterhood, is.
If you are a sister or best friend, you will love this story.
