Summary: Holding On To Trust
Review: Alice Wootson has written a heart warming love story about learning to trust and starting over. Linda Durand, middleclass, educated, ex-convict. Linda made a foolish mistake through misguided love and paid for it by spending more than three years of her young life behind bars. Now she has a chance to start over, if that's possible. Her public defender has found a place for her to live and has set up a job interview for her at a neighborhood community center. Linda knows that she can do the job but must prove it to the center's owner who does not trust her. Not because she has been in prison, he believes in giving a second chance and has proven it time and again. Avery does not trust her manner, her style and the fact that her clothing and her perfume speak of money and privilege. Linda has just two weeks to prove that she can make a positive difference at the center. She trys to keep a young girl from following in her footsteps and to raise the level of expectation of the youths who come to the center, some of whom believe that where they are now is where they will always be. In spite of Avery's distrust of Linda he cannot deny that the tension they both feel is not necessarily related to the issue at hand. There is a lot to this novel. Avery has to deal with his past hurts and let go of mistrust and pain. Linda has to learn to trust men again. She has to find a way to forgive a family that she believes abandoned her in her time of need. She also has to deal with the jealousies that have been created by Avery's obvious personal interest in her. This is a straight forward love story with a powerful message of trust and commitment. Thumbs up to Alice Wootson. Absolutely recommended reading. Vannie(~.~)
