Next to Never

Disconsolate souls seeking the triumph of the heart. Three people sure of their desire, yet unsure as to how to attain it. Two flawed beings finding their way back through their unflawed creation of love. Lara Chase was surrounded by the opulence every woman desires but denied the special richness every woman demands. Then a chance meeting unties the twisted knot in their heart and she knows her life can be well again if she can be strong. Dave Brown's feelings of fullness had been bludgeoned by the insensitivity of reality. His life seems bleak and without meaning until a light finds its way into his existence and his downtrodden self-pity is without a place to languish. Chrissie, unspoiled and special, represents not only the culmination of love but also the salvation of it. As if dispatched from a higher power she draws from what she has been given and rescues what seemed lost and brings it home, never to be separated again.
