What We Do For Love
By Anne Pfeffer
Thirty-eight-year-old Nicole Adams has given up on finding love. The single mother focuses instead on a few things that she cherishes–her sixteen-year-old son Justin, her friends, and her art.
When she convinces a major museum to show a piece of her work, and she thinks her career has finally turned a corner, her son brings home a girl, Daniela, to spend the night. Daniela’s parents have thrown her out of the house: she is pregnant with Justin’s child. Shattered, Nicole feels she has no choice but to take the girl in.
She finds herself falling in love with Daniela, but increasingly troubled by the behavior of the girl’s icy, tormented mom and hard-drinking, hard-fisted dad.
Nicole struggles as fear and deceit enter her formerly peaceful life. Forced to deal with people she doesn’t trust or like, fearful for the future of both her son and the grandchild they’re expecting, Nicole wonders if she can do what she tells Justin to do: always have faith in yourself and do the right thing.
What We Do for Love is a standalone story written by award-winning author Anne Pfeffer.
Anna’s Review – 4 Stars
What We Do for Love is difficult to put down. It is a fantastic read!
Pfeffer paints an authentic picture of a quintessential neighbor you’d find in Hollywood Hills. Nicole and Justin, the mother and son duo, flanked with highly memorable supporting characters, live nothing short of both an average life and extraordinary events!
Pfeffer allows us to watch Nicole and Justin’s ordinary lives start to clash with teenage pregnancy, a rapidly changing relationship between mother and son, a crumbling marriage and an abusive lunatic lurking and about to invade all of their lives for good.
What ultimately captures your heart is the potential of Nicole’s undeniable sweet love with Mike that begins decades earlier. Will this love last for Nicole? Or vanish forever?
