| Plot Summary of Tully |
|---|
"A great book, and an easy read. This book breaks the rules as far as the "trashy romance novel." Along with great love stories, there is also the relationships that last throughout the book. I read this book in just a couple days, and I didn't want it to end! I was routing for Tully to do the right thing. She was a strong woman. Recommended to anyone that wants a juicy story and a good cry!"

"Beating back death, it's what Tully does best - it's all Tully is capable of doing. Tully is a novel of betrayal, the main character betrayed by her parents, her best friend and lover is herself displaying some of there characteristics and knowingly betrays others. Tully as a character is complex, but a complexity that not only presents the reader with a challenge but also a lot to like as Tully grows up before our eyes."
