Lisa was thirty years old, and a mother who constantly harping at what she was missing, seeing her twin nieces.She had a one year contract to teach , then hoping to get back to Phoenix for the next year. With six months left, she was asked to come back the next year, saying she was a good teacher.
No, her goal was not to stay, the advice given, but maybe love will come and you change your mind. Which happened. Delightful story of friends, their careers, and how love comes.
