Destiny (Paperback)

Destiny is a contemporary drama that whisks you through the lives of Joanna, Kay, and Maddie, three very distinct and dynamic women seeking the same connection to love and family. At ease in cowboy boots or high heels, Joanna is an earth mother who longs to be barefoot and pregnant. "At eighteen I was a runway model in Paris. I thought I'd work for five or six years, then marry and start a family. At thirty-five, I wanted to be living on a ranch, with kids and dogs running in and out of the house all day, and a loyal and devoted husband making love to me all night." A diva at twenty-one, Kay, reached the height of success as a supermodel, while she broke every heart she met along the way. "I have casual affairs with people I don't love, and who don't love me, because if there's no commitment, I won't feel like I've been deserted when the relationship ends." Tender and soulful, Maddie, twelve, alone and scared after feeling abandoned at a boarding school far from home, finds solace and companionship in the wild splendor of the Oregon countryside. "I live in a constant state of longing, and a kind look from a stranger, a gentle touch of a housekeeper's hand, or a reassuring smile from a teacher, make the love I yearn for bearable." Follow the intricate twists and turns of Joanna, Kay, and Maddie's lives as their different journeys lead them to the same destiny.
