Charles & Charlie

It's a cautionary tale of the unexpected where a not so young woman finds herself suddenly estranged on Christmas Eve from the man she devoted herself to for thirty odd years. Badly surprised and hopelessly derailed Lana stoops to pick up the pieces while compelled to review what went wrong in a lonesome aftermath. Life goes on as it must and she's not sunk yet. Instead she breaks free from traditional confines that failed her. Destined for better at just past sixty she shakes off clinging sludge and lifts off to revel in colourful landscapes filled with impressionable characters. And that's when she bumps into Charles Royale, a man decades younger but then age is just a number when it comes to real passion. Even so there's a twist as Charles comes with a double, his equally delectable twin Charlie who easily matches up in ways that count. The stage is set for the adventure of her lifetime as she effortlessly traverses through cultural lines until stumped by another round of heart breaking unknowns. The story is about how she confounds all odds while charting her survival. But more than that is the satisfaction gained through sheer grit that only gets better as time passes.
