About this ebook

Until One Day, by Charlotte Symonds, is a poignant affectionate account of one day in the lives of four strangers. Each lives in Manhattan and hides their despondent lives behind masquerades. Follow each through a day in their lives where choices are presented and upon which decisions made not only alter the course of their lives, but impact others as well. Sydney, a successful attractive female corporate lawyer, Patrick a retired plumbing engineer and WW II veteran, Sister Georgiana a teacher at an all-girls parochial high school and Christa, who recently relocated from upstate New York, are all strangers to each other. Each has their own grave quandary, each trying to conceal it, and each searching for a solution. Yet all share one commonality, a seemingly hopeless conclusion to their unique situations. Hearts can be broken for many reasons, but can each heart be repaired? Be enthralled while each story unfolds, revealing its inimitable predicament and the journey’s end for each character’s destiny.

A Tree Grows In Brooklyn and so did I. Proudly, I admit from the Park Slope area. It is there where my roots began and where my personality and values developed. It’s there where I learned the true meaning of friendship and of love. It is also where I learned the importance of laughter and where I formulated my sense of humor. I was fortunate to have been raised by parents so deeply in love that I became a hopeful romantic. Brooklyn is a cauldron of diversity, but when introduced to the Italian culture at a young age by my friend Marie, I was fascinated with it. I was drawn into it with its deep family loyalties, the tightness of the extended family ties, the acceptance of true friends as family, and of course the food. In my twenties was the first time I had met anyone who was Deaf. We became friends and she introduced me to the culture of the Deaf world. Intriguingly, it is with this culture where I have focused most of my career. I have worked with the Deaf community in a variety of capacities, two of my favorites being, the teaching of American Sign Language and Interpreting. I currently live in New York. My true passion is writing. I've seen bumper stickers that say “I’d rather be sailing, fishing, skiing” or some other activity. If I could find one, I’d put on my bumper, “I’d rather be writing”. I hope you enjoy the journeys where my characters lead you as I enjoyed the journeys where they brought me.
