IN SEARCH OF FRANK is an Adult, African-American, coming of age romance that is complete at 51,000 words and was selected as a finalist in the 2016, Maple Lane Publishing, annual publishing contest.
Darling little debutante Odie, is forced to face a revolting truth.
When she recovers from the initial trauma, she takes revenge setting fire to their palatial California home, then flees on a desperate search for her estranged mother and her own self-worth.
Her journey turns harrowing, until fate provides the love of her previously unknown extended family, and she is introduced to Franklin Trueman. During their three days of travel they find themselves falling in love. Recognizing the complications they face—trust and temptation become almost more than they can handle.
During an emotional reunion with her mother Odie struggles to recount the traumatic events, but with Frank by her side she manages and admits her act of revenge.
Now home in the archaic community of Wilmartin Hill, Odie faces an extreme change from her affluent Hollywood lifestyle, and a potential future of matriarchal responsibilities never seen before in the history of the town.
When Frank is in an accident it is Odie to the rescue going out in search of Frank. Finding him suffering from amnesia she becomes the supportive and compassionate companion that Frank has been for her. An act total opposite of her self indulgent past.
Discovering the key to unlock Frank’s memories Odie is rewarded with a marriage proposal— but this is Wilmartin Hill.
Note: Some may find the beginning four pages graphic and intense but these raw emotions further emphases the tenderness of the remaining story.
