Monday, Sunday
By Fenton Grace
Laney Secord is an attractive, 32-year-old single mother suffering from the recent loss of her husband. She blames herself for his death, and has been in a state of emotional paralysis ever since. One day, she meets Christopher, a striking 16-year-old boy in the prime of adolescence. He avidly pursues her, yet she knows the attraction she feels for him is wrong. He’s just a teenager after all – what could they have in common?
Laney tries to push him away, becoming more paranoid, feeling that everyone in tiny Plainview, Colorado is watching her, mocking her. She begins a relationship with the boy’s father, Bill, who is more age-appropriate. But he isn't quite the right match.
The week-long romantic triangle that develops culminates on Sunday, Mother’s Day, changing their lives in ways that none of them could have imagined.
In this beautifully written and compelling novel, author Fenton Grace explores the consequences of flawed choices, the nature of betrayal and forgiveness, and the boundaries of sexual attraction.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF Monday, Sunday***
It’s been three
years since Laney’s husband died. Since then, she has been with no one else.
Now all of a sudden, 16-year-old Christopher shows up at her door soliciting
for a Boy Scout trip. When he shows infatuation with her, Laney allows him to
kiss her. While equally fighting and giving in to the tempting feelings he
induces in her, Laney begins seeing Bill, Chris’ dad. As things begin spiraling
out of control, Laney tries to become less of a victim and more of the person
she has always wanted to be.
What world does
this woman live in? I thought she was so delusional that she must have been in
a coma dreaming everything. I don’t understand all the excessive overthinking
that she constantly did. I felt overwhelmed with all the conclusions that she
would immediately think, giving me a headache as well. I didn’t feel that there
was much character development at all for any of them. There were so many
questions left unanswered. It started with a good plot, with the potential of
going in many different ways, but just didn’t quite develop totally.
