The Room Next Door

Gail Arthur is a Southern woman with a French heritage. She calls herself a Frog Magnolia. As she grows into adulthood, two men vie for a place in her heart. She loves one. She's in love with the other. Which one should she choose?

From the Mississippi Delta to Paris to the United Sates capital, Gail and her edgy friends, who have dreams and dilemmas of their own, wrestle with this thorny, impossible yet crucial dilemma. The one who helps Gail the most is Michelle, the surprise daughter of one of those men. Michelle harbors a dark secret that her mother knows is not a secret at all.

The answers to Gail's dilemma may, in the end, not even be answers; just ways for her to continue pursuing a life that alternates between heaven and hell but never loses its passion.
