Monica, Conchita, Mel, and Racine are bound to each other as they face a twist in life beyond their control when men in their lives fly from Colorado to Colombia on an emerald-mine expedition. Nearing Colombia, all communication with the men is lost, and attempts to learn of their fate is futile. Five years later, much turmoil ensues as the women receive news that the men are hostages and may be alive. A jumble of joy and uncertainty confront the four friends who have gone on with their lives. Will the men return and if they do, how can changed lives reconnect?

Grandmother Rose and I held a close relationship. She lived in three centuries and took her last breath in 2000. She inspired me to be a writer and I was designated the keeper of her writings. Before I retired from teaching, I revealed my desire to write with my students. In actuality, I've never left teaching, but continue to substitute in the Fort Collins, Colorado area. Creating-whether a quilt, garment, home-cooked meal, gift for another, or written words on a page-gives my life meaning, challenge and enjoyment. Inventing poems and songs for family and friends, interviewing others and penning their stories, recording the history of the country school where my parents and I studied, authoring my memoir entitled Country Roads, and crafting new characters and new scenarios as a fiction writer continue to fascinate me.Family is always a priority for me. Four generations lived on the farm where I was raised. I count myself fortunate to have milked cows, cleaned chicken houses, thrown hay bales, made my own clothes, and raised, then harvested garden produce. Today, I cherish fond memories of motor home explorations with my husband, now deceased, and focus, not only on writing, but also on creating adventures and moments of joy with my six great-grandchildren.
