Like Sweet Buttermilk
Like Sweet Buttermilk (LSB), a story of betrayal, deception, and love, explores the emotional boundaries within what appears to be an ordinary marital relationship.
Rick Phillips loves his family. To him, family is everything. He is leading what he considers a comfortable home life with his wife, Viv, and their young daughter, Alna, when Viv tells him she wants to separate.
Through therapy with Dr. Naomi Alexander, Rick and Viv work through the issues in their marriage and find renewed passion for each other. Naomi however, knows all is not peaches and cream. Rick’s irrational devotion to family has Naomi worried for Viv’s safety. The no-nonsense psychiatrist becomes the reluctant semi-detective…
The fiery intrigue of Like Sweet Buttermilk awaits at Amazon (and Kindle Unlimited).
