Spencer Takes a Look at 'What If....'
The story opens as Rachel Hollis is preparing to attend her husband?s funeral. As soon as Tommy Lee Gentry hears of the death, he becomes agitated. By bits and pieces, the reader learns more about this couple. Rachel Talmadge and Tommy Lee Gentry were best friends as children; later, they became lovers. Then it all fell apart and each married other people.
Tommy Lee lives life on the edge; he?s been married and divorced three times, smokes too much and drinks too much. He has no problem making money; intimate relationships are different matter. Rachel has her own dress shop and is doing quite well, while setting the fashion tone for the small town.
This is a wonderful story of ?what if? and second chances. Can the powerful love of seventeen year-olds be reignited 24 years later? This is an interesting character study of what happens in families when they stop speaking and refuse to listen.
