Book Three of The Burning Sands Trilogy:
Julena and friends have arrived at a crossroads; all anticipate bright futures but each have chosen a different path. Aspirations and plans have changed so that happiness and fulfilment are not to be found where they had been led to believe and they have to go their separate ways with heavy hearts, hoping their bonds of friendship will remain strong over time, despite geographical distances. Their careers are within reach as well as love and marriage even, though Julena never had the wedding fantasy and feels women need financial independence above all. She also has doubts about whether college can teach her what she needs to know.
