When You Dance With The Devil - Softcover

When lost souls find each other, anything can happen...Sara Tilman and Craig Radcliff meet each other at the most unlikely time of their lives - the time when they need each other the most...After the death of her bitter and demanding mother, Sarah Jolene Tilman finds herself alone in the world for the very first time - and ready for a fresh start. Leaving behind the pain and isolation of her former life, Sarah becomes Jolene and moves into the aptly named Thank The Lord Boarding House, a modest ocean side sanctuary that houses eleven other "misguided souls" - as proprietress Fannie Johnson describes them. Surrounded by strangers, Jolene is forced to confront how socially awkward - and achingly lonely - she really is. Taking care of others is all she has ever known. Can she learn to take care of herself? As she begins her stumbling search for love and belonging, she finds she is not alone...Disillusioned by romance and material success, Craig Radcliff has decided to give up his high-powered international career and return to his US roots. On the advice of a friend, Craig registers at the Thank The Lord Boarding House.

But while he planned to shed the trappings of wealth along with his business suit, he is taken aback by the humble surroundings, including the down-to-earth house mates to whom his status means nothing. Nonetheless, as Craig is forced to turn inward, he is also drawn into local life and discovers simple pleasures - including an unexpected new friendship and promising relationship.
