July 2000

Bestselling author Sandra Kitt's work has been praised as "moving" ("USA Today") and "tense, thoughtful, and sensual" ("Library Journal"). Her newest novel tells the richly emotionally story of two people struggling to make sense of their lives in the aftermath of a violent chance encounter.

Close Encounters/Signet Books 2000:

I return to the interracial theme in this story in order to really write about the ability to change and forgive.  The hero Lee, is a white police officer.  Carol is a black art professor.  She is accidently shot during a police raid gone wrong, and nearly killed.  Can she forgive the white officer responsible?  Can he forgive himself?  And how are both Carol and Lee’s lives changed by their encounter?
