Mary Ann Mitchell, world-renown fashion model, is at the top of her game. Her money, status, and fame have provided her with everything money can buy-everything except true happiness. The Model, a second book by pilot and author Robert E. Bryant, takes readers on her emotional journey from revenge to loneliness to fulfillment. Set close to scenic Asheville, North Carolina, the story takes an interesting look at the blessing of unexpected love. As is the case with all of the author's works, the story of The Model was first presented orally and recorded by Bob and Sharon Underwood, supportive friends of the author. Later, The Model was transcribed and put in novel form by L. Caroline Martin, author of Proven Guilty.
