About Stages by Lamar Neal:
Although Hendrix and Victoria are both young, they live two different lives.
Hendrix is a senior in college, who lives with his terminally ill father, and has no idea what he wants to be when he “grows up.” He can’t quite make sense of the world just yet, although he did what he was expected of him: go to college and earn a degree. But, now what? Will he get that proverbial great paying job? Will he now be able to make his own way in life? What if he doesn’t?
Victoria is a young wife and mother in a failing marriage, her two sons being the only reasons she is still devoted to her household. After being a stay-at-home mother for the past few years, she decided now is the perfect time to go back to school.
But after both learn family secrets, not only does the shape of their daily lives change forever, but their worlds collide, sparking an unlikely interest in one another. With their lives at a free fall, their relationship is the hope, inspiration, and strength to help them persevere through the most difficult time in their lives. Although love is getting them through the bad times, what will happen to their relationship when they realize they are still at different stages in life?
