A very touching story .......

Picking up the Pieces by Barbara Gale
Silhouette Special Edition # 1674 - March 2005

Upon entering the arrivals area of Kennedy Airport, Harry suddenly sees the woman who rejected him ten years before. Althea was very young and just making her name as a supermodel. Now ten years later, there she stands the ex-wife of an American Ambassador. Seems neither is leaving the airport anytime soon, there's a blizzard going on. Althea's not thrilled to have Harry's bitterness thrown at her, but she finds herself rescuing him when he suddenly collapses. She can't seem to leave him stranded on his own, and she rides with the ambulance. Seems Harry, the globe hopping photojournalist, has caught himself a very nasty bug from the Brazilian rain forest. This bug's got a huge hold on him, and it will be months for him to recover. Althea finds herself offering to take Harry home for his recovery. Harry's relieved and silently happy that he gets another chance with Althea. Only a relationship now won't work any more than it would have worked before. Althea's African American and Harry is most definitely blond and blue-eyed. Their relationship before nearly toppled Althea's career, a career she desperately needed to pull her mother up from poverty. Now, trying to get back into the modeling world after her divorce, Althea needs to figure out what all she's willing to give up.

This is my first book by Ms. Gale and I'm very glad I chose it. The interracial aspect was handled with great care and taste. Harry's a decent man who's caring heart wants only to be with Althea; he doesn't see the cold looks that are sent her way when they are in public. Althea learns to set aside the opinions of others and to follow her heart. A very touching story, one I'm very glad to have found its HEA
