Notes For Liberty

by Penny Dawn

Just when the crazy merry-go-round of life allows Liberty Wilson to stand still for a moment, Sergeant Jefferson Davis Muldoon returns to the armed forces, leaving behind only a note and unanswered questions. Try as she might, Liberty cannot embrace Jefferson's patriotism. At times like these, a girl turns to her best friends for comfort, but Mya Reese-Myers is preoccupied with an unplanned pregnancy. And Liberty's high-maintenance sister Bianca is dealing with the unresolved losses and a lover who wants--gasp!--an actual commitment. Amongst her confidantes' emergencies, Liberty is left to investigate the reasons for Jefferson's disappearance on her own, piecing answers together with the surfacing of letters from a woman who appears to know too much about Jefferson's past. With secrets revealed, will Liberty's love for Jefferson survive? Or will she hop back onto the merry-go-round in the arms of another man? A year ago, when Jefferson was discharged from the army after two tours in the Gulf, he found refuge in the arms of the adorable Liberty Wilson. He never intended to fall for her, given unresolved issues of his past, but when his past repeatedly turns up to haunt him, he realizes tying loose ends means the fraying of his and Liberty's relationship. Something's got to give. Unfortunately, in order to be the man Liberty deserves, he must get to the bottom of Sergeant Mary Alice Rodgers' allegations and come to peace with the things he saw--and did--in the name of patriotism. But will resolving these issues push Liberty far beyond reach? Starring characters from Penny Dawn's Salute, Sound Off, and Wake-up Call, this tale of untangling webs teaches Liberty that to earn a friend, shemust be a friend, and dares us to wonder...how far will any of us go in the name of obligation?
