Cory Whipple's background seemed less than ideal: orphaned at age one, he was raised by his father's twin sisters--single ladies of distinction and don't you dare call them Old Maids. R'Lou and Fayleen Whipple--known around San Luis Obispo California as The Misses Whipples and to young Cory and his cousins as The Aunts--knew a great number of facts; they were teachers, after all, and truly remarkable ladies. But their education was incomplete until Cory appeared in their lives and taught them a great deal more about things that really matter. "Rogue Wave" tells the sweeping story of a love that is not always patient, frequently is angered, on the sly is quite self-seeking, and from time-to-time keeps a record of wrongs. But ultimately it is a protecting, trusting, persevering love that goes the distance with faith and hope, and in the end: never fails.
