One Foot in Love

by Bil Wright

Small in number yet formidable in spirit, the Leave Him and Live Sisterhood adopts a recent widow, challenging everything she knows about life and loving.

Rowtina Washington is devastated when her adoring husband, Turtle, is killed in a tragic accident. When his ghost begins to appear to her, she delights in the opportunity to rekindle the passion they had. But then Turtle's visits stop abruptly. Confused and desperate for answers, Rowtina is convinced to join the feisty and irrepressible Leave Him and Live Sisterhood, a tiny band of women who vary in age, race, and life experience. Osceola McQueen conceived the group, as she says, to "grab a hold of your sister till she can see the road." Lucy Antiglione is a waitress-warrior fighting off a punch-happy husband, while Egyptia Nelson is happiest on her way to the altar. And then there is Nelda Battey, sharp tongued and irreverent, who lives by her own definition of what it means to be a woman.
This tender yet humorous page-turner shines a light on the faith, optimism, and romantic possibilities that inspire and sustain us all.

If you have never read Bil Wright, I strongly suggest you do! He is an extraordinary writer and crafter of stories.

In this novel, he brings forth a myriad of romantic, sensual and loving images, in terms of his characters and story line.

Please! Please! Read.

It was sad when her husband died, because all she really ahd was him. I was a little skeptical of the support group at first, I really though they were up to something but they weren't. I was rooting for Rowtina to ge her life back together after her husbands death.
