Not Without My Family is the third installment from Lore’s novella’s What Could Have Been & Would Never Be. In the sequel, the joke was on Marcy. She left the wedding reception of her ex-husband, Jacob, with literally less than what she came to Memphis with. Sherwood who is now Jacob’s husband and the stepfather of Marcy’s and Jacob’s children fought it out to the bitter end with Marcy for what was his. In Would Never Be, Sherwood walked awake the winner or did her? In Not Without My Family, Marcy shows Jacob and Sherwood what it means to be cautious of a scorned woman.
