My Mimosa Pudica
Amy DeMeritt
A little over eight months ago, Mariana became the primary caregiver for her grandfather after he suffered a stroke. Between the added expenses for his care and a slow economy, she’s struggling to make ends meet. But her luck seems to turn around when she meets Nina. And the more time they spend together, Mariana begins to view Nina as more than a client – maybe they could be friends.
The lines between client and service provider blur. Nina begins to question everything she once believed about love and marriage. And Mariana wonders if she could make a relationship work while caring for her grandfather. But when trouble brews in a friend’s relationship, Nina worries that she’s making a mistake and that she’s going to end up with a broken heart again.
Will Nina be able to make that giant leap of faith and commit herself to Mariana? And can their relationship survive the challenges of an elderly dependent?
