Never the Same

By Bess Richards

The differences between all-American midwest farm kid, Briggs Sullivan, and silver-spooned city slicker, Lucy Cartwright, are undeniable, but when they meet in Times Square on New Year's Eve, the attraction between them is instantaneous. As they delve into a long-distance romance, Lucy's haunted past underscored by a depressed, absent mother and a workaholic father with a huge secret, seems, for the first time, alleviated. But, just nine months after their first meeting, September 11, 2001 comes along, derailing in every way Briggs and Lucy's plan for happily ever after. Laugh, cry, and fall in love with these characters as they tell a powerful story about love and family amidst the all too real, yet unimaginable circumstances of terrorism, war, illness, and separation. By novel's end, you'll see the mess within the picture perfect, high-values Sullivan family, and the love you weren't sure existed among the dysfunctional, despondent Cartwrights.
