In author Ree Thurman's new book, Tomorrow is Forever (now available through 1stBooks), Corie explores her inner feelings, tries to come to terms with her mother's death and searches for love.
Corie's mother dies giving birth to her second child, and her father, an alcoholic deserts them. Corie is left to care for her baby brother alone. After a life of caring for a child, Corie finds it hard to change her ways. All she wants is for someone to care for her.

She takes a job as a personal secretary for a business tycoon and later finds herself wrapped up in a web of manipulation. Feelings of guilt from her mother's death, her relationships and her perception of herself all play into this captivating novel about a young woman coming into her own and realizing what she wants in life.
