Gonna Lay Down My Burdens

From the national bestselling author of God Don't Like Ugly--a rare novel that inspires laughter, tears, and repeat readings. Wracked with guilt at having caused the accident that confines Burl Tupper to a wheelchair, Carmen Taylor chooses to sacrifice her own happiness to Burl's needs. Even if it means watching the one true love of her life, Chester Sheffield, end up with her best friend, Desiree Lucienne. But Carmen's loyalty to Desiree goes back a long way, and she's not about to let a man get in the way of their friendship. Then, on a sultry, reckless moonlit night, Carmen commits a desperate crime of passion, and, with Desiree, hits the road running. But she can't run from the truth she's avoided for years--and finally, Carmen confronts her demands, head-on. She has two choices--living a life on the lam, or returning to Belle Helen, the place where it all began...and the only place in the world where she can lay down her burdens and seize her chance at love and redemption.Monroe, Mary is the author of 'Gonna Lay Down My Burdens', published 2005 under ISBN 9780758200242 and ISBN 0758200242.
