Just don't pass out, Lyn-Lyn! Marilyn warned herself as she felt a burning in her left leg and a charley horse in her right calf. Soon the cramps became so bad that she began to limp and hobble. Whatever had possessed her to enter the triathlon? "It'll take your mind off Rover," her friend Janie had said, using her special name for Marilyn's ex-fiancé, Lon Yeager. "You've got to fill the void with something." Janie certainly was right about that, except that the void was more like a gaping wound where her heart had been. How had Mr. Right turned into Mr. Wrong? By dating other girls while she was engaged to him, for a start. The dazzling Prince Charming was apparently "rescuing" every damsel in sight—whether they were in distress or not. Even with that crushing blow, Marilyn's broken heart refused to let go, and when Lon—all enticing and penitent—begged for a second chance, her resolves and her heart melted all over again. Besides, rationalized Marilyn, when you're single and in your late twenties, there are few attractive men still available. She still yearned for a sharing, caring relationship that would endure forever—the kind her brother Kelly and his wife, Shannon, had built. Could Lon really give her that? Was it worth taking a chance? Universal in its appeal, Please Bless Marilyn examines the dilemmas of the single scene, exploring the challenges faced by many men and women today. Written by popular author Gordon T. Allred, this perceptive novel is a slice of life that readers of all ages will relate to.
