TV comedy writer Lily Benjamin is depressed over the death of her long time friend, mentor, and boss Harry Green. The producers of the hit sitcom Angel's Devils hire acid-tongued Charlie Roth to replace the popular Harry. At their first meeting, Lily and Charlie seem to rub each other the wrong way. Besides his not cutting her any slack over being a single mother raising a teenage boy, she finds his jokes about his physical handicap to be in poor taste. Lily's world collapses even further when her physically active son is injured during a domestic dispute. His injuries leave him paralyzed with the firm belief he has no future. Only Charlie can get inside his head and help him adjust to his condition. As she watches the abrasive Charlie helps her son adjust, Lily sees and falls in love with the inner being. Charlie also falls in love with Lily, but decides she needs a "complete" male for a spouse. Lily wants Charlie and plans to do whatever it takes to get him. Readers who enjoy a poignant, passionate contemporary tale hold Iris Rainer Dart in high esteem. Her latest novel, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE, is as deep as any novel ever gets because of the characters. Lily and Charlie struggle to adjust to his being wheelchair bound for life. The abrasive Charlie shows them that there is much left in the future for all three of them to look forward to if they go after it. Ms. Dart leaves her audience with a wonderful message that anyone can do just about anything if they only try. Harriet Klausner
