The Way The Ball Bounces

By Cathy A Jones

Life is all about making choices, isn't it?

Trapped in an unhappy marriage, Maddie Swann dreams of a better life. When she meets Ted Stait, who is down on his luck, she helps him escape from living on the streets. They move in together and she believes she's found an exciting new future to look forward to.

Ted isn't all he seems and Maddie's happy life plan starts to unravel.Struggling to maintain a harmonious relationship with her daughters and keep her drinking under control, she realises that pursuing her own happiness comes at a price.

Changes come quickly into Maddie's life. Can she make the right choices to save herself from reaching rock bottom? Or is there anyone willing to help her?

The fresh air hit her vodka-infused head like waves slamming into the shore. Maddie needed to run from the hostility she was experiencing from every corner of her life. Run towards the calming sea. She dropped her sandals at the edge of the water and tried to focus her blurry eyes on the horizon. Maybe if she walked into the waves the alcohol would act as a sedative.
