Publisher Description: "Marissa, you can't just walk out on your career, your marriage, everything." Nona said to her supervisor of the past ten years. Nona had watched Marissa's practice flourish as a practitioner specializing in taking care of AIDS patients and their families. But, she had also watched her take care of Tomas, her husband of seven years and put up with all kind of things from others. If anyone needed to just go and be, it was Marissa Sanders."I can and I am. Nona, I feel as if I am floating above my own life and more than anything I need to be grounded. I didn't see a way out of this because I'm responsible for all of this, this practice, your livelihood, not to mention my home, car, Tomas... but I prayed and prayed and who knew that my father, the man I haven't seen since he stood over my mom's casket would provide me with the bounty I needed, a man who never acknowledged me in life because he had another life." |
