Love is enduring, so Maria Wilson thought. Married thirty years to her high school sweetheart, Brendan, life seemed perfect. With two grown children, a grandson and the last child entering her senior year at high school, they were set for empty nest years. A brutal attack during an early summer night's stroll changes every conception of her life. Will the Wilson's love endure the crashing of their dreams? Can Brendan accept his wife's pro-life convictions? Will Maria carry that stance to the point of losing her husband and her family in the life she carefully built? Will one night, one life, ruin a whole family? The meaning Maria gives to the Summer Triangle may save her marriage and family.
I'm on a quest to read books by local authors - we have a plethora of them! - and this is one of those. I don't tend to read Christian fiction and there was too much sermonizing for my personal taste, even if I am Christian and understood her dilemma. I would like to have seen the main story crux appear far sooner and be covered more in depth, but it was a quick read with a hometown setting, which was fun, and stayed very light-hearted for such a serious subject, with an upbeat ending.
