Matthew St. James, a talented singer-songwriter, thought he knew everything about life and love until he met Nadine, a young woman running out of time.
He watched her go and felt the chill of the mist blowing in from the Gulf. It fell on his face and mingled with the faint tear that he couldn't suppress. An elderly couple made their way up the sidewalk and past him on their way inside. They held each other close, huddled beneath a large golf umbrella. He wondered how long they had been together and how long they had left to share their lives. "Think it will rain?" he asked, trying his best to sound cheery. "If it doesn't, it's missed a good chance," the old man replied as they trudged past. Matthew St. James stood in the rain and contemplated missed chances as the Florida sky echoed with the roll of faraway thunder. He had never felt so empty.
“Very well written and well developed characters and storyline. I particularly enjoyed it because I lived in the Tampa Bay area for over thirty years, so the familiarity with the locations made it so interesting. The book had a great flow and though I thought I knew how it was going to end, it surprised me. Always a good thing. I’m hoping there will be a sequel, so we can continue the journey with these characters.”
