Reviews:
“...Turning Point is well worth the price of admission.
A true love story, the sort of ‘slow growth’ story that
so many of us enjoy. Pick up a copy, you’ll be treating yourself
to a time of discovery in the lives of these women, a worthwhile journey
indeed.”
~ Polly Robinson, Reviewer
“...For those who feel that plots of books are
often rushed to completion without good character development, this
book will be a welcome change....”
~ Lynne Pierce, Reviewer
“This is not a novel that can be skimmed through
and read in one night like most...It is to be read slowly and savored
over several nights or days....”
~ Linda North, Reviewer on Amazon.com
Synopsis:
It’s Hollywood. Actresses hate getting passed over. Cold shoulders
are common. Petty sniping is part of the fabric of the place, but
it takes two to fight.
Cassidy Hyland’s birthday party for her son is
about to spark much more than a truce with Brenna Lanigan, her cold
costar on the television sci-fi series Time Trails.
It becomes the first step in a journey neither woman
ever imagined her heart could take: to love another woman.
Both women have pretty “straight” personal
stories. Brenna is “just over the hill” by Hollywood standards.
She’s 41, with two teenage sons, and a second husband back in
her Midwest hometown. She has spent from age 18 at theaters and on
television, even a few movies, living out roles that other people
write.
Cassidy is relatively new. At 32, she came to Hollywood
after majoring in Literature and Drama in college. She did a little
modeling, got small parts, had a child, and escaped her abusive marriage
when she landed on Time Trails.
From the warmth of an unexpected hug, to the heat on
a sunlit mountain top, getting to know each other brings these two
women closer to the truth of themselves, and how open their hearts
have never been before.
Turning Point explores the journey of these
two women surrounded by a mix of supportive and unsupportive cast,
from colleagues, to children, parents and spouses, both current and
former.
