Adelia Hernandez is rebuilding her life after a disastrous
marriage to her
ex, Ernesto. With her four children, Tomas, Selena, Natalia
and Juanita,
moving to a different home isn't easy. Overcoming her
husband's infidelity is
even harder for Adelia. Even her siblings and mother have a
hard time
abiding by her divorce as the Hernandez family just doesn't
give up. Serenity,
South Carolina provides her support by those she has grown
up around.
Gabe Franklin was the bad little boy who stood up for his
mother as a child
when the whole town was against her. Protecting his mother,
even though
she was not a good one, caused him to be thrown out of
school. Now, as an
adult, he arrives in Serenity, sexy as all get out, to work
construction for his
cousin, Mitch. With a history of taking off when ties get
close, he is captivated
by the lovely Adelia and falls in love with her children
when assigned to
remodel her home. Both being leery of putting trust in
someone else,
banding together to secure her guardianship of the children
is more than
either expected at fighting a lying and vengeful ex.
Nothing escapes the
community concerning their liaison when the Sweet Magnolias
of Serenity are
around.
What can I say except that I ALWAYS cherish the stories I
read by this
brilliant author. SWAN POINT is a masterpiece of family,
love and acceptance. Sherryl Woods
certainly knows how to weave a tale of conquering the
challenges of true love.
