Summary: Tragedy, Guilt and Love
Comment: At age 25, Rachel Russell is a young, gifted African American who's well on her way to being at the top of her game. Rachel is a professor at a prominent university in Michigan and she's also engaged to a wonderful, sensitive, intelligent and phine brotha by the name of Leonard Evan King. King is a fraud investigator for the Detroit Police Department and takes his job as a protector and defender of the public very seriously; which will lead to justice regarding the case of an individual very close to him. Rachel and Leonard have their life in front of them as they plan for their future which includes a family and growing old together.
On a cold, rainy night, Rachel's life is tragically ended by a drunk driver who flees the scene. Judith Wagner is a 40-year old white, part-time student, wife and mother who's distracted, intoxicated and believes that she's hit a small animal. But when she gets out of her car to check to see what she hit and realizes that it was a human, Judith leaves the scene of the accident after she doesn't find a pulse for Rachel. Rachel is found and is still alive but hours later she dies at the hospital. In the meantime, Wagner tries to keep the accident a secret amidst guilt, drinking and family problems.
As Rachel's fiancee, 37-year old Leonard, and Rachel's mom, Stephanie Grayson, an attractive, widowed, 45 year old attempt to go on with their individual lives they turn to each other for shared grief, comfort and friendship. As time progresses, Grayson and Leonard, find themselves becoming closer and developing romantic feelings for each other. But are these feelings real or just convenience in trying to hold on to Rachel's spirit?
Out of Tragic by R. Barri Flowers is a suspenseful and engaging read. Flowers interweaves mystery and romance and gives the reader a compelling storyline. It's a story about love, tragedy, grief, guilt, friendship, bonding, and romance. This was my first R. Barri Flowers story but I enjoyed his writing style and look forward to reading many of the other numerous fictional reads that he currently has available...

Summary: Great read!
Comment: During a stormy night Rachel Russell was a victim of a hit-and-run driver. Judith Wagner, the driver, never saw Rachel on her bicycle. She got out of the car thinking she had hit a dog. She thought the person was dead since she felt no pulse. In a panic, Judith fled the scene of the accident. The time that passed for someone to find her and call for help ended up costing Rachel her life. Since Judith was unable to see the face of the victim due to the weather, she had no way of knowing it was her psychology professor she had hit. At Judith's home, she kept the awful secret to herself, constantly plagued with guilt. Her marriage was already shaky. Yet Harold and the girls still could tell something was wrong.
Leonard King was a fraud investigator for the Detroit Police Department. He was also Rachel's fiancé. Melissa Sanchez was in charge of the case and together they began tracking down the driver. Leonard also spent much time with Grayson, Rachel's widowed mother. Together they mourned Rachel and slowly began to heal. They grew close. Soon romance began to bloom between them.
A warm story full of friendship, tragedy, and love. The author allows the reader to see all sides of the story. Keep the tissues nearby for this one!
