Still Breathing : 9781588988706

The story of Colette Jackson, a 30 year old virgin who is married to a man 46 years her senior. Although Colette's life has many twists and turns, some bad, some good, Colette always sums it up by the fact that through all the ups and downs in her life, and no matter how bad things become, in the end she is still breathing.Colette was only 18 when forced into a marriage with the then 58-year-old widower Leroy Jackson, a close family friend. Owing Leroy a very large sum of money, which they could never afford to repay, Colette's parents, Larry and Darleen manipulated Colette into marrying Leroy. Knowing Larry and Darleen for the money hungry, conniving pair of no doers that they were, Leroy consents to the marriage only because he knows that if he doesn't marry Colette, her parents will marry her off to someone considerable worse than he, and knowing that he is old and too ill to be a real husband to Colette, he marriages her thinking that marriage to him would save Colette from a worser fate.
