Beautiful Tracy, infant Alicia's new mother, is rescued from a blizzard by lawyer Reina. They become a new family of 3, then 4, then 5, led by a passionate FFM triad. Alicia's BFF, also 10, is adopted after her abusive parents lose custody. After a senseless violent confrontation, both sisters miss their Senior Prom. But instead, each girl has a romantic vacation trip with their beaus. (Offstage mention of child abuse, but no under age 18 sex.)
This is a cheating wife's tale, but if you know anything about my writing. it's from a very different perspective. You'll just have to read it to see. No *real* sex, and the tear jerker part is just at the end.

His son, Gerry, persuades him to sail to Orkney, a place Jeff had long wished to visit, on board Anitra, Gerry's yacht, hoping that the experience would help Jeff deal with his loss. It does - but not quite the way Gerry intended.
