Issues

In every relationship, both people bring along their share of personal baggage with hopes that the other person will help them unpack. Often a man or woman who is lonely and desperate for love realizes — too late — that their needs have driven them into the arms of a charismatic antagonist who has slithered their way into their lives. They don’t take the time to get to know the heart of the person who has swept them off their feet. By the time the seducer’s true colors are revealed, they have lost money, been exposed to diseases, and loss of life. Sharon St. John’s ISSUES is a story with lessons that both men and women can learn from: trust your gut feelings — and never give yourself completely away in a relationship. Ms. St. John’s adept, surprise twist on this age-old theme will rattle readers off their foundations and leave them shaking their heads in disbelief.
