Synopsis

"Just Between Friends", is a story of deep friendship, love and understanding that come along with just a tad bit of drama. Katelyn, (Jonathan), Jordan (Roy), Cyra (Donavan) and Jade(Seth) are a group of friends with a common goal, attempting to walk the straight and narrow, while living in a large city that has so much to offer, in the rim of temptations and distractions. Read about my fictitious characters as they take their journey, living in the city nick named the "Big Easy," the city of New Orleans. This is an inspiring story of love, patience, understanding and forgiveness portrayed in the toughest of times. Simply spiritual? Well not exactly. These are characters that deal with real world issues, as they try so hard to hold on to their faith. Perfect? NOT! However Cyra who's married to the handsome Donavan, somehow thinks she is as she lives in her perfect world with her perfect son and most patient husband. Did I say patient? Well, we'll just have to see. Jordan, who's married to Roy, has the most interesting relationship. Jordan tries so hard to exemplify submissiveness and patience, as Roy journeys through life with his best friend, Alex. This book oozes with lots of wisdom, some that are spoken and some that are private thoughts of the characters, most of which seems to always come from Katelyn, Jonathan's wife, and Roy's sister, the mother figure of their group. Every group of friends has one. Every group of friends has to also have a peace maker to complete the circle and keep it balanced. One who tries to find the best in people and a reason for every bad situation, which would be Jade, Seth's ex-wife. She possesses the gift of love, peace, and understanding and does well applying it to everyone, except Seth, her ex-husband, not remembering that "Charity" starts at home
