Forever Waiting by DeVa Gantt is the final book in the Duvoisin family saga, an epic story teeming with intrigue, passion, and betrayal that will appeal to fans of Sarah Donati. Following A Silent Ocean Away and Decision and Destiny, this riveting concluding volume reveals shocking secrets about wealthy shipping magnate Frederic Duvoisin, his wives and children, in the wake of tragedy, as observed by the young governess whose destiny has become inextricably entwined with the powerful, enigmatic clan. The waiting is over. Forever Waiting brings the addictive chronicles of the Duvoisins to an exciting and satisfying end.

Debra has a Bachelor's degree in French and a Master's degree in Business; Valerie has a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Social Sciences.

They began writing nearly 30 years ago and completed the Colette Trilogy after a long hiatus. Please visit their website at http://web.mac.com/devagantt/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html.

Deb and Val visited Hartsville in November of 2008 when the first book in the trilogy, A Silent Ocean Away was released. They spoke to a sellout crowd of over 70 guests. Don't miss the opportunity to see them when they return to the area.
