Short description

Helen reluctantly travels to the Oregon Coast to meet her husband Carl. Her goal: he signs the divorce papers. His goal: a future with her. Helen must choose between two roads to her future. Which one to take?

Extended description

Helen needs to get on with her life. Her husband Carl stands in her way. She heads to the Oregon Coast. Her mission? To end her marriage once and for all.

The Oregon Coast seems a strange place to Helen. Nothing like the Florida she loves. Helen must consider the choices life offers her. Stay in her comfort zone? Or take a leap of faith?

Laura Ware is an author who spends most of her time in Central Florida. She travels to the Oregon Coast several times a year and loves it as well. Her column, "Laura's Look," is published weekly in the Highlands County News Sun.

Review by: Secret Fire Press on July 06, 2011 : star star star star
A short story about taking a chance on love and the choice between the comfort zone and the unknown. Another good one by Laura Ware, with deep feelings running under the surface--just like the untamed Oregon coast that serves as a backdrop for this heart-filled romance.

Review by: White Sun Press on July 04, 2011 : star star star star
Very sweet short story, with a lot of heart like all of Laura Ware's work. I'll read pretty much anything by her, because there's always such a sincerity to her characters and situations. This is about the compromises one has to sometimes make to keep a marriage intact.

A story of a marriage in crisis. Laura Ware does some nice stuff here - getting you to think about the unspoken deals you make going into a marriage, the fears you have, and the ways love can help you past them.
