Appraisal:
What a great story.
Patricia Munro, Trish to friends and family, has good friends, a job
she likes, and shares a townhouse with her boyfriend Eric, the kind of guy most
women dream about. But all is not well with Trish. She's still recovering from
the unexpected death of her mother and has been thrust into the role of running
interference for her aunt Heidi, whose dementia has reached the point of having
to live in a care home. Eric is hinting about taking their relationship to the
next level, but Trish's short and not-so-sweet first marriage left her gunshy.
She doesn't want to lose him, but she's also not ready to pull the trigger. Her
brain knows that Eric is different, but her heart isn't ready to concede the
point.
How these issues resolve is a bittersweet story with sadness, stress,
and more than a little frustration for Trish. Along the way she uncovers a long
buried family secret and learns some life lessons about risk and being true to
yourself.
