Turning Points: The Guitar

By Joanne Alexander

In the first story in the series is It Started With The Dog Jennie and dog meet Sara and the interaction between them changes both their lives. New characters enter in the following stories but all of them deal with relationships, denial, cooking, grief, dogs, religious belief or not, becoming independent the soothing properties of plants - or at least somewhat with all those topics - the last one is a little iffy. This final story in the Turning Point series has Tina maturing - somewhat- and trying to get her act together- at least musically, Sara and Jennie still cooking and Jennie deciding whether to risk sharing her past to help someone in the present. Sara appears to be at a new turning point in her life. By the end of the last story The Guitar all the characters have been through and resolved many problem/situations and their lives go on but without this writer to document them. Think of it as the end of season one of a television drama.

About the Author

The Guitar

As Tina and Jennie were leaving an informal concert they had just attended at the community center Jennie complemented Tina on her singing. I enjoyed those songs where we got to sing along. And I couldn't help but notice that your voice is much better than the female singer.

I know, Tina replied. You know, I could do what she did if I could just play the guitar and find a guy to play with me on the keyboard like she did. I knew most of the songs they sang. Maybe I should buy a guitar and learn how to play it.

Why don't you do that! suggested Jennie. We could have our own sing-a-longs.

Well, maybe I will but not this month. I'm still paying for those planters. But I could put out the word that I'm looking for one. Maybe someone has one they aren't playing anymore.

That's a great idea Tina. I bet there's a guitar out there with your name on it. It's just been waiting for you to realize that you want it. At least I've been reading that that's how it works.

What's with all this reading? Tina wanted to know.
