A New Reason For Being
(2015)(The fourth book in the Secession of Texas series)
A novel by Dawn Brand Hawkins and Darrell Maloney
Dawn and Charlie aren't getting any younger. But they're getting more selective about the adventures they're pursuing and their plans for the future.
Expecting a baby at the precise time in their lives they're trying to wind down complicates things. But they wouldn't dare complain. They see the little one as a gift from God. And they're looking forward to the opportunity to be new parents, at the age most people are sending their kids to college.
The couple goes on what Charlie calls a "great adventure," driving a recreational vehicle across New Mexico and Texas. It's a test to see if they're suited for a lifestyle Dawn never saw herself doing. But she'd do anything to make her sweet Charlie smile. Even if it means giving into his wild and crazy schemes.
Their trip is one part Rhett and Scarlett and one part Lucy and Desi. Some things go according to plan. And others go wildly haywire. But it's all fun from beginning to end.
Back at Maribel, Dawn struggles with another big decision that could threaten their plans for the future. For the first time in their relationship, Charlie refuses to help her.
"This one is your decision to make, and yours alone," he tells her. I'll support you one hundred percent. But I won't make the decision for you."
Dawn runs to her grandmother's spirit for guidance, and is rebuffed for the second time. For the first time in many years she's all alone. All alone to make what is quite possibly the biggest decision in her life.
No spoilers this time. This one goes right down to the wire. Right down to the final chapter. For you Dawn and Charlie fans, buckle up and hang on. You're invited to go along on Dawn and Charlie's "great adventure." Enjoy the ride.
