Bitter With The Sweet — Debra Phillips

The foot loose and fancy-free Pearl Parker is living a secret life that attracts the wrong attention from a 'hater'.Betty Robanson is large and lovely, but living in an abusive relationship with her being the abuser that gives in to constant violence. Birdette Parker has always dreamed of making it with her writing. Opportunity knocks when the man of her dreams offers her a partnership that could help her writing career and possibly lead to marriage, but requires her to move to another state. Being the glue and the 'fixer' of family problems, Birdie is torn between pulling up roots and leaving her dysfunctional family and her ailing mother, or giving up her dream. This is a story of family drama at its best.
