Something about April Paperback -

by Cheri Paris Edwards


From the publisher

With daughter Sanita settled in her own apartment, for the first time in years Lena Jefferson's time is her own. On a whim, she looks up an old college boyfriend and impulsively sends him an e-mail. To her surprise he writes her back, attaching a photo. One look at the picture and Lena is filled with a bittersweet longing for the past, and an urgency to reclaim a part of herself that she suddenly desperately wants back. When Lena's long-time friend, the sharp-witted and newly-divorced Nadine Clements moves her law practice to town, and the old boyfriend Derrick Jasperson takes a teaching position at the local university with a lovesick ex-girlfriend not far behind, Lena's longing to reconnect to the past sends her down a path that that could change her life forever.
Carla Jefferson has accepted that Terrence Catchings is in love with her sister Sanita and successfully weathered a tough start in her position as school principal. When Javier Quintero pays a visit her office to talk about his wayward niece, he doesn't hide his interest. Attractive and intelligent, Javier left the Army to start a successful landscaping business. But, despite all they have in common and their undeniable attraction to one another, Carla can't reconcile Javier with the dream man she's imagined. Carla turns to her friend Mandy for advice, who assures her that love can overcome differences. Carla's not so sure though, when her reluctance threatens their promising relationship Carla is forced to view herself with new eyes. Carla is also concerned about the change in her mother, unlike her sister Sanita who seems to be taking Lena's transformation in stride. Lena has cut her hair, slipped into a more modern wardrobe and is starting a new career, and Carla worries about what her mother's metamorphosis might mean for her family. Spring brings dramatic changes for Lena and Carla Jefferson as they discover there's "Something About April" that may leave neither of their lives may ever the same. Laugh, cry and celebrate with the Jeffersons' in this second offering about a season of change for this Midwestern family.
