The Marriage of True Minds
The Marriage of True Minds
by Stephen Evans
The Marriage of True Minds (2/6/2008)
This off-beat story of 2 divorced attorneys kept my interest. The author is able to give his main characters quick dialog and funny conversation. The story of Nick Ward's attempt to deal with his divorce from Lena, and escalating bizarre behavior, will keep the reader …more
