Can a man and a woman remain friends after each marries someone else? This is the story of a friendship spanning more than twenty years, until the day Noelle Moncada receives a terse, three-line letter from her friend, Joel Rolland, asking her to end all contact. Perplexed and hurt, Noelle recounts the details of her relationship with Joel and tries to determine why he feels the friendship must end. Was it something she did or said? Was it because of his wife, the beautiful Anita Dambra? Or was it because once during a night of passion and release, Noelle and Joel crossed the line between friends? But this is not just Noelle's tale to tell. In alternating chapters, Joel tells his side of the story as well. Ultimately, the reader will decide whether or not Joel and Noelle can or will remain friends.This is author, Michele VanOrt Cozzens' first work of fiction and is the winner of The McKenna Publishing Group Fiction Contest.
