Maye's Request

She has a history of complicated relationships. Is it her family legacy?

Freshly out of college and possibly in love, Brianna Bell, aka Bean, worries that she'll never be able to have a normal relationship due to her screwy upbringing. Her parents form a perfect triangle: Mom, Dad, and her mother's lover--who also happens to be her Dad's twin sister. Although each of Bean's parents now lives alone, the animosity between the twins makes dealing with either of them like tiptoeing between landmines. Then her mom, Maye, is threatened with a rare and possibly fatal illness, and she begs Bean to help heal the rift between brother and sister. Reluctantly, Bean intervenes. But the more Bean finds out about her parents' complicated history, the more she realizes how little she knows.

A story of love, longing, and family values.
