   Summary

   1948. What happens when the truth hits that half of a life has lived an elaborate lie, one necessitated by a vast fortune? How does one cope when the job for which one has trained eventually ends? Life should be grand! But ghosts from Therese’s past haunt her present, and threaten to upend a happily-ever-after future.

   Despite a complex relationship and a discovered switch in identity, Therese and Carol’s love perseveres. But after a joyous reunion, a weight begins to descend. A conversation. An unusual setting. A moody, angsty Therese and a devoted Carol examine events leading to one woman’s run to escape her destiny. Revelations will unnerve them; unraveling secrets will certainly frustrate.

   ‘Queen of Hearts’ is a multi-chapter sequel to ‘One-Eyed Jack.’ A forgotten room. A conversation over the course of a day and evening. Memories come unbidden– a recounting of the past weeks through our characters’ eyes. Is unconditional love the cure for everything?
