Getting to Grace

By Lee Barber

He's a lady-loving attorney.She's a feminist rebel. After forty-three years, will Grace and Sam finally let their spark flame?

There's a spark when Sam and Grace meet in 1955. She's on her way to being a liberated woman. He will become a small-town attorney with a ladies'-man reputation. They meet again in 1962, but it will take until 1975 for their first date to materialize. After a surprisingly successful first date, a shocking revelation pushes Sam to retreat. Grace won't risk disappointment again. She avoids him for the next twenty-plus years, even though he only lives a side yard and a row of trees away.

In 1998, the death of Grace's employer puts Grace and the arts community she helped nurture in jeopardy. Sam is determined to help. Grace resists, but desperation times, desperate measures. She accepts his assistance. Age has not dampened the spark between them. Grace allows herself to fall, into his arms, unprotected, and he catches her, with vulnerability and love.

All seems new and fresh for these sexagenarians, until the ultimate final betrayal.

Will they be able to clear this final hurdle? Is there a happy ending for those who find love late in life?
