When Twilight Comes — Gwynne Forster

In all the world, only two things are important to Marge Hairston: her work as a journalist, and the three children she raised alone after her husband's death. Handsome Drogan, tempestuous Cassie, and gentle Sharon share a warm affection for each other, and a-profound pride in their mother, who turned The Woodmore Times into North Carolina's most influential African American newspaper.

But the family's closeness is challenged when Marge falls ill--and insists that one of her children continue her work at the paper. It is the unassuming Sharon who reluctantly steps into her mother's shoes--and finds herself flung into a terrifying, exhilarating new world. While she faces heartache over Drogan and Cassie's sudden jealousy and mistrust, she also finds unexpected joy in her new career and passion in the arms of a new lover.
As she blossoms from a docile little sister into a dynamic woman, Sharon discovers the strength and courage to, lead her siblings to a place of acceptance, bittersweet reconciliation, and ultimately, healing.
