| Plot Summary of A Cast of Smiles |
|---|
"This story is about a group of friends. Julian has just married Veronica but has doubts about his feelings towards her and marriage. He has an ex-girlfriend, Katherine, who is still obsessed with him and she seeks to right an imagined wrong with disasterous consequences. Gloria is a flirt and forever looking for a good time. Teddy is a good story teller and joker but never seems to have a girlfriend. George is a little slow in thinking and desires Katherine who's not interested in him. Peter is the intellectual of the group. The story focuses on their character growth; kindness, honesty and understanding towards each other, and their motivations. An excellent read."
Libby, Resident Scholar
