"SUBURBAN
RENEWAL chronicles life’s twists and turns
over the past four decades for an ordinary suburban
couple in Lumkee, Oklahoma in a poignant and
thought-provoking tale.
"Corrie
and Sam Braydon must decide if having a lot
to celebrate is
a good enough reason to stay married. With
the kids grown, the house paid off and money
in
the
bank, Sam is looking forward to taking things
easy, spending more time with Corrie and
maybe even taking the odd holiday or two—no
surprises there. Corrie, on the other hand,
is not sure
what she wants, but plans to find out.
"In pondering their past, each one sees their
marriage from their own unique point of view.
Amid an unplanned pregnancy, the crash of
the oil industry, natural disasters, the bittersweet
efforts of starting over, the intrusion in
their lives of Sam’s long-absent jailbird
father, the bombing of the Oklahoma City
federal building,
the boom of the dotcom industry, the death
of family loved ones and the growth of their
two
children, they realize during the course
of life it is often the journey, rather than
the
destination,
that matters most.

Picket fence
up for grabs?
How
would you celebrate twenty-five years of marriage? A cruise?
A party? Renew your vows? What about a divorce? These are
the ideas brewing in the mind of Corrie Braydon. She would
be the first one to agree that she and her husband, Sam,
have a lot to celebrate, but is that a good enough reason
to stay married?
With
the kids grown, the house paid off and money in
the bank,
Sam is looking forward to endless games of golf, dinners
out with his wife and the odd holiday—pretty
much what
he has now. Corrie, on the other hand, is not sure what
she wants—but she plans to find out!
With
warmth, humor and love, Corrie and Sam reflect on
the past
and ponder the future. But they'd better hurry up—twenty-five
years can go by in a flash!

"Morsi
skillfully weaves both the suburban town and its familiar
citizens into a complex tapestry
that reveals much about how we, as a society, interpret
the very basics of our lives in terms of career, success,
community, marriage and family dynamics. From AIDS and
domestic violence to the impact of suburban sprawl on the
structure of American society, there is a deft hand at
work portraying the real tears and triumphs we all face
in our day-to-day lives.
"Morsi’s work has expanded beyond her traditional
romance fiction roots to deeply moving women’s fiction
on par with Bridges of Madison County and Message
in a Bottle. She is exploring the very roots of why
people stay together, even after 25 years of marriage."
