Book Details

Sometimes all you can expect in life is the unexpected . . .


Meet Kindra Dean, the Library Director in the small town of Orangedale, Massachusetts. While it’s not a very prestigious job, it quite frankly is all she has. Unless of course you add in her dingy apartment. Kindra has no life to really speak of; just the same old repetition, day after day. Anti-social and depressed, Kindra is wracked with guilt over the death of her younger sister many years ago; a guilt which has kept her enslaved for way too many years, far too long. But then something happens that changes her life forever... Tiana moves in downstairs. Known as “T” to her friends, she is the boisterous, outspoken, masculine lesbian who is just what Kindra needs to pull herself out of her melancholy spirit of discontent. To free her from herself… Let us also meet Tommy Shannon, a pissed-at-the-world wheelchair-bound fellow who wants nothing but to be left alone in his own miserable world of self-pity and pornography. Tommy’s Irish mother will have none of that, and arranges a meeting for Tommy and Kindra. This rendezvous turns out to be both disastrous and hilarious, but it ultimately changes their lives, forever. Kindra and Tommy have both experienced their own personal winters, but now spring has come...and they are finally in bloom.
