About the Book
The eldest child of divorced parents, Rachel Ann
Eggars (Rae) keeps house while her mother brings home the bacon. Her hopes
and dreams must take a back seat to the needs of their family. Hard work,
discipline, a capable mind and a winning personality enable Rachel to excel
and earn a scholarship to college. But college would soon take a back seat.
On a plane to London, Rae meets Gordon Prescot, II. After a whirl-wind
romance, they marry in Paris. A decade later, Gordon is a happily married,
successful architect. Rae is lonely, childless, and unfulfilled living in
her husband's shadow. If only she could have a baby. Then, she would have
something of her own. After fantasizing for months about becoming a mother,
Rae learns she can never have children. She is devastated. Desperate to
accomplish one dream of her own, she returns to where her life changed
direction. At school in Tennessee Rae embarks on a path of self-discovery
that reveals more than she could ever have imagined. She soon discovers that
her most valuable lessons will be learned outside the classroom. Further,
the price for Rae's education will be much higher than the cost of tuition. |
