Worth Waiting for K L McKee

Three friends, Stacey, Brian, and JD, face the sixties with fresh dreams and strong beliefs, but in a few short months, their dreams are shattered, and their beliefs challenged. In 1968, Stacey, barely out of high school, marries Brian, a Marine whose loyalty is to God, country, and the Corps. Neither Stacey nor Brian knows that JD, also a Marine and Brian's best friend, is in love with Stacey. When Brian dies in Vietnam, Stacey and JD find themselves in a moral quandary when solace turns into a night of passion. Unable to face the guilt of sleeping with her dead husband's best friend, Stacey distances herself from JD. Sixteen years later, when the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a recent memory, and hopeful of reconciling with the only woman he has truly loved, JD seeks out Stacey. Worth Waiting For is a journey that takes two lovers from the turbulent sixties to the healing eighties, as they deal with their loyalty to the past, their love for each other, and the lure of a future together.
