Twice Loved

Bygones. Divorcee Bess Curran has built a successful career as an interior designer in historic Stillwater, Minnesota. Though still angry with her ex-husband, Michael, for abandoning their marriage, she's proud of their children, twenty-one-year-old Lisa and nineteen-year-old Randy. When Lisa announces that she is pregnant and plans to marry, Michael and Bess warily come together to help organize the wedding - and before long, their own spark is rekindled. Though their parting was acrimonious, Michael and Bess reexamine their roles in the divorce and gradually come to terms with each other. Longing for that once-upon-a-time togetherness, they are forced to consider whether twenty years of love can really be erased by a legal decree; and whether sometimes, when the times change, people don't change along with them. November of the Heart. Set at the end of the 1800s, November of the Heart tells the story of Lorna Barnett, a young woman from a wealthy Saint Paul family, and Jens Harken, the ambitious dreamer who works in the kitchen of her family's summer estate. When Jens overhears her father's plans to compete in the summer regatta, he brazenly crosses the line between master and servant by offering to design and build a boat that is sure to win. As the new boat comes together, so does the relationship between Lorna and Jens, and despite the rigid caste system that keeps them apart, they embark on an affair as fresh and innocent as the summer itself. But the repercussions of their passionate idyll soon separate them against their wills, forcing them through buried scandal and shame to endure a loneliness where it is always November of the heart.
