| Publisher Description: A story of companionship, compassion, and family reunion--a forty-something woman meets the challenges of finding romance, while reuniting with a long-lost sister, and monitoring the escapades of her friends. Tai Wilson has hit forty and finally is ready to settle down with the man of her dreams--now she just has to find him. An executive who has success, her dream home, and a flourishing employment agency, she wants a partner to make her world complete. Her attempts to focus on the right guy get pushed aside as her long-lost sister returns, and she balances the time between the two. Tai and her only sibling, Trista, were separated as children when their parents passed away. Trista's past is completely unlike Tai's upscale world. Tai introduces her to fine restaurants and treats her to spas, but Trista has trouble trying to fit into her sister's world. Tai treasures female networking as she celebrates friendship with her sidekicks--Candace, a fashionista, and Nevada, a journalist turned private detective. Each has their own lifestyle but when they unite for ongoing adventures, they are as one. Will Tai and Trista finally create the sisterly bond they both crave, or will their attempt to establish a strong union crumble before their very eyes? Will Tai find the man of her dreams? Add in some friends with issues of their own, and Tai is definitely ready for The Next Phase of Life. |
