Life, Suddenly — Sandra Sookoo

Sometimes lift takes a sharp left turn when you're expecting a right

Tala Henderson's Native American roots play an important part in her life. When her family pressures her to give up the one man she could love, the pain she feels makes her realise she can no longer afford to let anything, even her culture, determine her destiny.

Craig Wordell's world comes crashing down when Tala breaks off their relationship. A small town boy who makes it, he never forgets, or forgives, the one who got away. He wants one more chance, and tracks her down on the day of her sham wedding.

Fifteen years of passion cannot be denied but when a simple misunderstanding threatens their tentative trust, it will take acceptance and love from both before they come to terms with the fact that life can take some surprising turns.
