Fingers Through the Sand

Was it the era, or the errors of the times; was it the errors they made, or the error of their ever meeting? No matter now, for it was their era, during which they loved in their unlikely way, reaching to each other with passion and dream; too often touching only shadow. Daniel and Nicole: She a sorority favorite and he the anarchist come lately to the small Southern college where they meet. They both lose all when chanceful familiarity at a graduation night party spirals into love. Outcast by family, blacklisted by friends, they struggle to build a life for themselves. And success does come to the talented duo. Nicole, an artist and orchestra-grade pianist, builds a thriving teaching and design practice. Daniel, a natural for risk-taking, wins management’s graces in the textile world. With a rambling Tudor house and Baby Mars, they showcase their lifestyle. But the rocky past—precedent secrets, precedent loves, old ambitions, old rivalries, old friends and their agendas—seep into their present. Through error after error, misconnection, and disconnection, their life begins to unravel. On the verge of too late, it is Nicole who sees where the omens have carried them and where they must take a stand in order to save their love.
