Product Description

Resolutions takes up where book 1-Possibilities leaves off.

In book 1, Possibilities ... Blake Baxter (whom all the female readers adore) won Nora's heart and made her his bride. Unfortunately, the marriage is bumpy from the beginning thanks to a controlling mother-in-law. Into the picture comes Blake's old flame and ex-fiance Samantha, who is set on getting her man back. She teams up with Blake's mother and they set out to break up the marriage. After seeing Samantha and Blake in a passionate embrace, Nora, hurt and confused, flees into the night and is soon reported missing. Later she is proclaimed dead by the police even though her body has not been found. They claim she was murdered by a mysterious cab driver who picked her up at the hospital after she suffered a street accident, and lost a baby that Blake did not know she was carrying. Blake, devastated and filled with guilt, hires private detectives to find her. But their efforts prove fruitless. After months of searching, hoping, and believing that his wife will be found alive, a depressed and hopeless Blake drives off into the sunset.

In book 2, Resolutions ... Blake Baxter, hair down to his shoulders and sporting a full beard returns to Detroit the same way he left, unexpectedly. He is dressed in a flannel shirt, denim jeans, scuffed up boots, and a baseball cap. He draws the attention of passerby's as he makes his way across the swanky lobby of his office building. On the second floor he pushes a door open, leans against the doorjamb, and waits for his brother to recognize him.

Bill exclaimed crossing the room. Where in the hell have you been? Fishing. For eighteen months? I needed to get away for awhile. We tried to find you, Bill said. I didnt want to be found. Bill clasped Blake's shoulders. "You look completely uncivilized." "Has there been news of, Nora?" "No, nothing." "I wanted her to be here." "I wish she were," Bill told him.

Blake turned his car keys over to the valet and stepped onto the sidewalk. As he neared the entrance to the building the doorman clasped his hand.

"Welcome home, Mr. Baxter." "Has Mrs. Baxter been home?" he asked with a break in his voice. "No Sir, I haven't seen her."

The coldness of the apartment hit Blake the moment he stepped inside. The heat was low and the place had an aura of bleakness. He had tried unsuccessfully to cope with the uncertainty of Nora's disappearance. But he still had a long way to go because he saw her everywhere he looked. He turned the thermostat up and stood staring out the window at the city lights below, recalling their first night in the penthouse. They cooked dinner, relaxed, sipped wine, and admired the panoramic view of the city. During those first precious years Nora had always been in this room, on this sofa when he came home from work. Moving into the kitchen he checked the refrigerator hoping to find a beer, but it had been cleaned and left empty. No doubt, his attorney, Houston Ripley sent someone over to clean the place up. He glanced around the flat noticing that it was not only clean, but gave the appearance of a model home, ready to sell. Blake entered the bedroom and jerked the closet doors open. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Noras clothes hanging where she left them. He would have been crazed with anger if her things had been disturbed. Subconsciously he had hoped that Nora would be waiting for him. He tried to convince himself that she was dead, but he could not accept it. Perhaps, he had to actually see her body before he could give up hope. So many questions remained to be answered. Would he ever know the truth?

He pulled a dress from the rack, sank down on the bed, and buried his face in it. He remembered how beautiful Nora looked when she wore it. Remembering her, sniffing her perfume that still clung to the garment, was more than he could bear. For the first time since her disappearance he began to cry. He did not want to weep, to mourn, he believed it to be an admission that she was gone for good, and he would never give up hope. However, the aching loneliness pained him so deeply that his only release was through his tears.

From the Publisher
Resolutions, is a wonderful story and a continuation of Possibilities. However, it was very difficult to bring it to press. It seemed we had one bad experience after another with editors, and at times we wondered if the novel was cursed. We actually went through six different editors during a six-month period. Each editor, except the last one, had some tragedy happen in their life. The first one went blind, the second had to have emergency surgery, and the story goes on and on. The last editor, as far as we know, just procrastinated and never finished the job. Therefore, be forewarned that this book has not had a professional edit and comes to you just the way the author penned it.

From the Author
Dear Reader, You will adore these characters and root for them as they try to resolve their problems. This is an emotional read that will touch your heart, bring you to tears, and make you smile. It's a unique page turner that drew on my innermost emotions. This was meant to be the last book in this series, but the Baxter's are frequently on my mind and there may possibly be a new book coming out in 2006.

NOVEL THAT GOT TO MY HEART
Having read a novel by Janet Sue Terry about Nora Steel and Blake
Baxter I realized that these two books will be among my favourites. It's not
just a love story, it reveals much more about people's relationships and human
feelings, about possibilities and resolutions.

Nora is the reason I loved this book. She is smart, innocent and chaste.
Not only does she make me see the things she sees, she makes me
feel the things she feels. Nora has a strong personality and deep feelings,
and it's clear why her life in orphanage and her life experience made her
so reserved, especially in her feelings to Blake Baxter, the man who
captured her heart. She is scared of him and tries to set herself free from
him. But as long as your heart is full of love, it can not obey your mind and
you can do nothing with it.

Nora and Blake are two different characters,but they attract each other
like magnets attracts each other. He is wealthy,she is not, he has a family,
she doesn't, he is confident and determined, she is lonely and afraid of
relationships. They seem so different, but they have one thing in common,
something that connects their lifes and souls together-they are in love
with each other.

After all, you get the idea that Janet Terry has written that novel because
she wants the world to know what a good and honorable man Blake Baxter
was and how hard he tried to win Nora's heart, especially after his mother's
and Samantha's evil plan to seperate them.

The mistery of Nora's dissapearance and your desire to know more about
her life is just one of the reasons you want to keep turning pages to find out
what happens next in the second book "Resolutions".

By the way, it's just impossible not to pay attention on how vivid the author
describes Kentucky countryside and the people's lives, like Roy Rollick and
his generous family from London KY. Or an old, kind, recluse named Eligah.
Janet Terry makes them all seem just as real as the people in your own
hometown. Her description of the countrylife in Kentucky is fascinating. She
can make you feel as if you had been there before, she can make you
fall in love with the beautiful and peaceful life in the country.

All I can say is that I enjoyed reading this novel. It gave me an idea that,
"there are lots of possibilities in the world," and if youl ever have problems
just know that "they have resolutions, the trick is in finding them!"

If you want to know more about this novel, and what really happens to
Nora and Blake's relationships read these two books by Janet Sue Terry.

P.S.Being a student of the University in Russia and studing English
as a foreign language, i was glad to have a chance to read "Possibilities,"
last year. Now, my life completely changed, may be because I had some
possibilities in my life, the most important of which took me to Covington,Ky
where I am now being absolutely happy with my biggest love. It was a hard
time for me to get here, but I tried to find resolutions to my problems...

Thank You

Inessa :)

Fabulous story!
Ms. Terry has now become a writer whose name will go to the very top of my 'MUST READ' book list. I love her style. What a class-act! Don't walk- RUN to your closest bookstore and buy this book. You won't regret it!

Do Yourself A Favor and READ THIS BOOK!
This book is excellent. Both books have several christmas scenes. You are bound to weep, and laugh as you read. This an emotional dual. Read the reviews on Book 1 - Possibilities to see what other readers are saying.

Read Book 1 first- Possibilities. Resolutions takes up where book 1-Possibilities leaves off. The story revolves around a young orphaned girl named Nora, who is afraid to love. In this world who can afford to wear their heart on their sleeve?

She is a diligent worker, ambitious, and morally sound. However, Blake Baxter (whom all the female readers adore) comes along, wins her heart and makes her his bride. Unfortunately, the marriage is bumpy from the beginning thanks to a devilish mother-in-law.

Over time, an old flame named Samantha, and meddling family members destroy Nora's trust in Blake. She flees and is soon reported missing, and then proclaimed dead. Murdered by the mysterious cab driver who picked her up at the hospital after a street accident. Her body is never found.

Is she alive? Very much so. Although she has relocated, hates Blake Baxter, and blames him for her miscarriage, with good reason I might add, they are destined to meet again...

You owe it to yourself to read these two books. They will warm your heart and allow the sunshine back into your life. Make sure to write me a letter and let me know what you think. jsueterry@yahoo.com
