Sum of Our Experience - Cheryl J McCullough - Bog

The Sum of Our Experience is the ending to what started as the "Hattiesville Trilogy." The first installment, The Wedding Party introduces the readers to the characters, and the fictional town of Hattiesville, North Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte. It ends with an unanswered question and disturbing news. Absent...One From Another picks up three years later, answers the question, and introduces a few new characters whose lives are entangled in situations of the characters we already knew. Christmas Dinner wraps it up and ties it neatly with a bow. But the package is full of heartbreak, revelation, contemplation, regrets, lies, and even love. The Sum of Our Experience picks up where Christmas Dinner ends and exposes wounds that never healed, questions priorities, and the definition of a mother's love. There is a major lie at the foundation of one relationship, and a whirlwind decision in another. This story sums up the matters of crime, alcoholism, trust, friendship, love, and marriage.
