Fiction: Women's Fiction
Everyone’s got personal baggage, but Rusty Scanlon thinks she’s
carrying more than her fair share. Owner of a trendy boutique in the outskirts
of New York City, Rusty has an eye for fashion and a gift for messing up her
love life. She doesn’t trust men. They’ve all abandoned her – the first being
her carpenter father, who ran out on her and her mother when she was only six
years old.
When she meets Walter Margolis, a guy who adores her, she thinks she
has it all. Not so, she discovers when she tells him she’s pregnant and he
suggests a paternity test. Rusty doesn’t know what to make of Walter’s reaction
until he reveals the details of the accident he thinks he caused as a teenager,
and the guilt that has tormented him all his adult life.
When a smooth-talking con man puts two and two together, ‘by the way’
mentioning that he once knew Rusty’s father, and also her mother – they apparently
had a ‘thing’ some years back – she realizes he’s after something. She decides
it’s time to find out the truth, and find her father. Until she does, she can’t
fully commit to the life she hopes to share with Walter.
Rusty’s emotional roller-coaster ride is full of twists and turns that
teach her and those around her about losing love and finding it, and what it
means to be a family.
