Overview

A loving woman squeezed in the sandwich generation between her elderly mother and her young adult son must choose between them. Each has needs that only she can fulfill, but she faces having to sacrifice herself again, as she has done her whole life. Who will win? And why is it that a woman can never claim a turn for herself - just herself - without feeling ""selfish""? Based on Greek mythology, this is a story about Calyce Tate, a middle-aged English teacher at a wealthy private high school. Her leeching son refuses to launch, while her frail mother deteriorates. The story speaks to all of us of a certain age, but its ending will shock you.

Author Information

I love to write about the courage of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges. My protagonists are flawed but ultimately redeemed - at the very least, into knowing who they really are. I hope my characters are people we all recognize because I believe the best stories are about the bravery it takes to be human.I've always written, beginning with my first ""novel"" at age 10. A Navy brat, I went to twelve schools across the country before graduating from high school at age 16, then I attended college and law school in Southern California and France. After living for decades in the D.C. area, I now also have a tiny studio in the Hollywood Hills, where I write and paint. I'm also a professional painter, an Artist member of the California Art Club.
