Green Flash at Sunset

By Marcia Capo

Secrets. They hide in the hearts of most of us, protected from discovery. Or so we imagine. In Green Flash at Sunset, Phillip Ashcroft takes an intricate pathway to unveil a secret from which he is unaware. Years before it had sounded so perfect, so idyllic, when he and Claudia were making plans to leave Michigan's cold gray winters behind them and head for Florida's sunny southwest gulf coast with its powdered sugar-sand beaches. But two years into their eagerly-anticipated retirement in Banyan Bay, fate strikes a cruel blow that leaves Phillip widowed and bereft, loathe to attend social gatherings without his beloved Claudia.Then capricious fate strikes again, and he finds himself on the threshold of a new romance, something he never imagined would happen to him again. His love affair with the newly-arrived alluring divorcee Karla is a gift from the gods, one he embraces with gratitude at sixty-seven. But memories resurface unbidden of his first love, Amanda. They fell deeply in love his senior year in college and were irrevocably committed, he felt certain, to a happily-ever-after lifetime together. When it all came to an end, his world was shattered. Over long years he'd succeeded in dealing with the agony he endured but the mystery surrounding the breakup never ceased to haunt him. When an opportunity to resolve it is presented to him from an unlikely source, he welcomes it and begins a journey that leads to an incredible revelation.
