If This Isn't Love (Greyhound Lady Walking Series)Stevie Anna Hart, if described by her friends, would be: loving, generous, conservative, principled, extremely attractive, private, and in need of a love interest. T. Boone Parker, would judge her upon their first meeting as: beautiful, wild, pole dancer, biker babe ‘wanna-be’, and completely unsuitable as a role model or candidate to help him rescue her identical twin sister. The resolution of their differences and the lessons about “not judging a book by its cover” are a part of this humor filled, romantic storyline with a serious message about life choices and the strong bond between twins. The deeper experience is of seeing two warm and real people learn the challenging issues of trust, and to read and reject the temptations of the “unbelievable charm and seduction” of the abuser. Strategically set in the world of powerful politicians, big money and ego: leading to murder and the hidden world of spousal abuse, it explores intimately the facade often maintained by the famous when they believe they will never be held accountable. A setting where sometimes the unthinkable is handed down from man to man to keep “control”, and counts on the gentleness of good to never stand up and fight back. Set in the heartland of America, this story embodies and reflects events and experiences in communities and homes everywhere. It will take you from the comfort of your reading chair into the fast-paced action that requires that you become a part of the resolution, and participate in the emotions of “righting the wrongs” and “setting free the victims”. You will come to know and embrace Perky, the “Rooster”, T. Boone Parker, (named after the great one), Stevie Anna Hart, and her twin, Stephanie. Max will teach you your own lesson about judging a ‘book by its cover’ as you come to love and want to know and have your own wise counsel from Max. The shenanigans of “Payback Patti” and “The Pyro Techno Girl” will have you laughing and surrendering, as you adopt a ‘new sheroe’. Ride with the Hells' Angels, on an uncharacteristic mission of mercy, and attend a most irreverent church service ever, that will shape your vision and validate in your mind, “what could be” in community brotherhood. Your heart will leap as you meet the “two Patricia’s”, and thrill to the ensemble effort of the Greyhound Lady Walking ‘sheroes and heroes’, as they band together to solve one of the most convoluted chain of mysteries in the series. Find out why it says in the last paragraph of the novel: “If this isn’t love …” “Always and forever”. The path of love is never easy, but this is the novel that will have you cheering because you followed it to the end, arriving out of breath, but happy to have been aboard.
