My Latest Book: A Woman Named Benita

Love Late in Life and Overcoming Age and Religious Differences

Published by Amazon in Paperback and Kindle

Welcome to my world of storytelling! Here you'll find a glimpse of my latest book, 'A Woman Named Benita,' where I describe a successful business woman who has hit her 50s and never found a man who she could respect or love.  The men who sought her were looking to advance their own career or to possibly benefit from her success.  She finally finds a man who checks all the boxes except he is considerably older and a different religion.  She decides to pursue him as a partner and possibly marriage as she is a devout member of the Maronite Church and he is an Episcopalian.  He resists her flattering attention as a widower, but is fascinated with her beauty and personality.  The story is about their journey and difficulties and how they dare to defy convention of today's culture in America.  The question the book attempts to answer is love that strong and are people willing to pursue their dreams in spite of convention.
