Tender Deception: A Novel Of Romance - Plot & Excerpts
She had to remember it all, the joyous moments of falling in love with Jimmy LaCross, her childhood sweetheart; the high points when her heart was swept heavenward, and the dark parts, when she was crushed to earth; and Kirk Remington. A shiver ran through her as his presence swept through her mind, shoving aside the other memories. Through her tears she looked down at her wedding band that now seemed to burn her finger. Yes it was all there—her childhood, her music, the men in her life. She had to face it and accept it; it added up to the person she was.Much of Lilly Parker was the music that had played such a vital part in her life and had eventually taken her from this bleak little town to her life’s drama in distant cities.Her parents had been Martha and William Parker. She remembered them vividly, seeing them before her mind’s eye, hearing again the sound of their voices. William had been a child of the Great Depression and never seemed to outgrow its trauma. He worked at various jobs in the small community, doing the best a man could who had but a sketchy grammar school education and a minimal amount of ambition.The strongest influence in Lilly’s young life had been her Uncle Daniel Webster LeDeaux, a fiery backwoods evangelist preacher.
