Pittsburgh Trilogy
Three Pittsburgh Stories
Tea and Chocolates- On a busy neighborhood street in Pittsburgh in the early part of the twentieth century, two separate dramas play out in houses across from one another. Emily, rich by birth, is a spiritual, kind-hearted woman while Gracie has always known poverty and bitterness. Life presents opportunities for each to act out her basic nature, and in the process, the two lock horns on more than one occasion. Emily secretly opens a home for women while Gracie follows a dark path in search of success. Lies and secrets destroy any chance of an open friendship between the two. Later, fortunes turn, revealing one secret to be the biggest of all.
Faithful- Belle Simpson’s husband left her with barely a word of explanation. Determined to get him back, she enters the mysterious world of gang violence and grand larceny, following the trail to his heart. George McDougle, a private investigator, keeps her in his sights on the pretense of helping her, but is he really? A beautiful waitress, street thugs, and a gold bracelet all come together to spin this colorful story of love.
Bridges to Burn - Folks in Irma Daltrey’s neighborhood are acting more and more suspiciously every day. Her next door neighbor invites a mysterious friend to visit, and across the street a strange trio has moved in. Are they spying on the neighborhood or just engaging in gainful employment? Her life is in chaos under the veil of terrorism, of which she knows nothing. All the while, Irma is left wondering if she is looking for love in all the wrong places.
