Synopsis: Retired teacher and brilliant humanities scholar Ambrose Tillcott plans to retire and live out the rest of his days unmarried in the quiet solitude of the southwestern Virginia mountains with his faithful dog, Argos, until one day he steps into a sinkhole and turns his knee into a grapefruit.
Dr. Cassandra Bissette, a forty-something from Saint Lucia, toils in obscurity in a white, “hill people” town to pay off her medical school bills. Engaged and disengaged five times, Cassandra has been hoping for a good man, a man who will look past her past and make her a part of his future.
She just didn’t expect her good man to be nineteen years older than her, retired, and white.
Filled with J. J.’s signature humor, a heavy dose of “churchy drama,” and enduring love despite many challenges, Somebody to Love proves that true love heals.
Review
Ambrose is a total riot. I love the introduction to him and his grapefruit knee. Then he meets Dr. Bissette and she brings in this bright and airy glow to his lifestyle. The journey these two take in this book is so realistic that you start to think that you know the characters personally.
A romantic comedy that will keep you laughing as you turn the the pages.
