Can Erika build a life of her own after her marriage to the cross-dressing church-lady organist? When her husband went public as the church lady organist, Erika, a twenty-three-year-old schoolteacher with low self-esteem must decide: honor her wedding vows and suffer the humiliation or leave him and face a life alone. Her ill-fated marriage to Arvid, a thirty-two-year-old classical musician who struggles with daddy issues, has been one of lies and deceit. Erika's journey from the mundane life of a high school teacher to a new beginning in a small resort town in the Carolina mountains involves a secret inheritance, thirty-foot yacht, a Junkanoo parade in the Bahamas, a flamboyant yachtsman, and a secret cross-dressing poker party. It takes a tragic accident, the honesty of a Jiminy-Cricket-like friend, the love of an attentive soul mate, and her own new-found confidence for her to become a wealthy young widow with a successful art business, a place in the community and a solid sense of personal achievement.It’s My Turn is a story full of heart. You will cheer for a woman who didn’t know her own strengths until she transitioned through a trouble-filled marriage to a life of her own. "It's always a treat to read a strong young woman as a central character. There is so much background and texture and interesting stuff that happens in this book. It's a joy to watch Erika navigate into and out of a career and an oddly matched marriage, to lead a new life with self-confidence and independence." Ashley Strosnider, Managing Editor of Prairie Schooner
