Their love was like a twister, spinning sideways too fast to dodge. How could something so bewitching cause such destruction? Opposites attract in the final book of the Twirler Quartet.
Tom was the salt of the earth, straight off his family's Sandhills ranch. His cocky grin accessorized his Stetson and boots. He was slightly older and wiser, yet charming and debonair. No girl in 1968 would dare ask for more.
Linda never meant to be traditional. Athletic. Impulsive. Assertive. Rebellious. Artistic. Daring. She believed lines were meant to be crossed. It was so comfortable finding happiness with Tom. Why was her tumultuous spirit pulling her toward new horizons?
He loved that she kept him on his toes. She loved that he made her feel secure. Their mutual reverence for family life gave them a common bond. But even their parents' sheltered secrets made them question the power of enduring relationships.
As time went by, Linda and Tom grappled with trying to face their feelings honestly and openly. They couldn't give each other what they needed most. Ultimately, they risked everything to find the path to true love.
The stories of Yvonne, Debbie, and Nancy contain a few more tidbits as the twirlers come together for a twenty-year reunion capping off their continued friendship.
