But I love you anyway

by Sara Lewis

Mimi and her sister Eve haven't been getting along as well as they used to since Eve fell in love with John. It happened at a Valentine's Day workshop called "Meditate to Find Your True Mate." A few months later they were married. Mimi can't seem to shake her creepy feeling about John. Meanwhile, business falls off at the mail-and-parcel center that the sisters own when a fast-growing competitor sets up shop a couple of miles away. And just when Mimi's sure her dating days are over, she gets a call from a man she doesn't remember. He claims he "connected" with her at Eve's wedding, and turns out to be far younger and shorter than she. But Mimi's had it with "connecting," she's through with love and romance. Isn't she? Sara Lewis looks at the bonds between sisters and the way men affect them, the reawakening of hope and romance after many colossal disappointments, and the reasons people choose partners whose flaws drive them crazy.
