STILLNESS OF JULY by Reyna de Jesus.Stillness of July follows Sara, a young, driven, professional woman in New York City. Finding love in a big city is hard...especially when you are focused on your dreams. Sara wants to make her dream of owning her own veterinarian practice a reality. She forgets all about love and focuses on her career, when she meets Lamar. Every time Sara and Lamar are together it is as if time stands still. They have the perfect relationship, they are soul mates, they complete each other-except for one problem-it's not the right time. They are two lovers separated by time. A lot of time....27 years. Sara's protective older sister Mia, does not approve. Her best friend Rose, is happy that she found love. Will love be enough? Sara has to look into the relationships with her sister, friend, mother, and other women to answer that question. Is love enough? Are we being good sisters? Good friends? Good daughters? Good mothers? Are we and helping the women in our lives?
