Dr. McDonald stops by the show to talk her novels Time Will Tell and Round About Midnight.
Round ‘Bout Midnight
A new chapter begins in the lives of childhood friends, Thomasine, Rachel, and Hope. Their friendship has stood the test of time, but more adventures are in store for them…Round ‘Bout Midnight. In this sequel to Time Will Tell, the unresolved issues and hurts Thomasine, Rachel, and Hope experienced during their youth don’t just vanish into thin air.
The world Hope spent ten years building with her high school sweetheart, Jason McCoy, comes crashing down around her all at once when he asks her for a divorce. Although she has her dream job in a new city, her nightly ritual of rum and Diet Coke and one-time encounters with nameless men leaves her feeling dejected, desolate, and defeated.
In Nashville, her lifelong friend Rachel Curtis Brown is consumed with fear and anxiety as she summons the courage to call her ex-fiancé, Patrick, six years after their break up to ask him to take a DNA test.
On a flight from Los Angeles to Sydney, their friend Thomasine Mintor awakens to find Rodney Harris, the man of her dreams, sitting across the aisle from her. Although he has gone to great lengths to prove his love to her, Thomasine is constantly challenged in trusting him, and most of all, in trusting herself.
For Thomasine, Rachel, and Hope true friendship is strengthened over time…no matter the hour. As these women mature and grow, they learn that life is best lived one day at a time, with each new day starting Round ‘Bout Midnight.

Time Will Tell
What has time told you about the power of friendship?
Thomasine, Rachel, and Hope share laughs and heartaches, hopes and dreams over the years, but only Time Will Tell if their friendship can survive the drama.
Accountant Hope Jones-McCoy goes through life masquerading self-righteousness for saintliness until the world she spent ten years building comes crashing down around her at once. Although she has a sunny disposition, Rachel Curtis-Brown faces dark days as her estranged husband and his chemical dependency leave her to raise two young sons alone. Thomasine Mintor, anthropology and women’s studies professor at the prestigious Steeplechase University, is a preacher’s daughter who’s into everything and everybody but herself, until she has a spiritual awakening and makes a major life change.
Time Will Tell is a story of tragedy and triumph, and the test of true friendship. You’ll find yourself laughing, crying, reflecting on your own hopes and dreams, and even reconnecting with an old friend.
