About this ebook

Something More Permanent
A story of friendship, devotion and betrayal.
Carol and Pamela in their late forties, married and post child rearing are dear friends and at times near to expressing their affection physically. Both having been faithful wives, they share their sexual fantasies and eventually begin extra-marital relationships. Around the same time Carol’s husband Gus also begins an affair. He had been on a two-year hiatus from years of infidelity.
These are nice people doing naughty things. Self-absorption does not stop Carol and Pamela from being good parents and dedicated volunteers for a mentoring organization and does not stop Gus from being a supportive husband and parent. By chance he becomes involved in the rescue of an endangered fourteen-year boy, thus becoming involved with his family. This begins to broaden Gus’s interests and circle of concern, and he begins to face things that had been suppressed.
Against a backdrop of children advocacy, child endangerment, domestic violence and thought-provoking issues, Carol and Gus attempt to deal with their infidelity and other attachments. There are twists and surprises. Questions are answered, and others are raised, one being, why do two people who respect, admire and continue to be attracted to each other look elsewhere?
