The Pocket Sack - by Sylvia Sammons Spivey



A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR


When Tim Smith left Sarah, his wife of many years, he left her
heart tragically wounded. Fearful of being hurt by love again,
she retreats into a world of make-believe, becoming a best
selling author.


At fifty-three, still beautiful and elegant, she meets a man who
stirs an intense interest in her cold heart. Jake Webster, a
handsome, wealthy widower several years her junior is determined
to overcome Sarah's fears and win her.


Planning to pen the biography of Otis Conley, an incredibly good
looking, golden skinned man from her past, she begins to interview
him. His story is filled with love and laughter, tragedy and pain.
Sarah hears much more than she had bargained for.


How will her life be changed by her daily contact with these two
delightful men? Will the change be positive enough to propel her
into the arms of a new love or will her fears haunt her forever?
Sarah's lifelong obsession, The Pocket Sack, holds the answers
for everyone.
