Meet the characters of A Gentle Sun Coming

Kade Turner was born in San Francisco to wealthy parents.  She flew through grade school with ease and perfect grades.  She was appreciated and well known in high school.  She excelled in every activity or event in high school.  Kade was well-liked but not popular.  There wasn’t time in her schedule for friendships or dates.  She attended Stanford University with the intent of earning a degree in art.  Since she was expected to marry well, the choice of her degree was unimportant. Her parents were pleased with their daughter as she met every expectation until Kade fell in love with a poor but promising biologist, Ken Turner.  Her parents refused to forgive her when she married.  They remained unable to forgive Kade even when Clint, their only grandchild was born.  

From the outside looking in, Kade Turner had the perfect marriage, the perfect child, and the perfect life, or so she believed until one day when a phone call shattered her world.  After that, she’s alive.  Nothing more.  But somewhere deep inside of her, a tiny spark of toughness and courage remained and it grew.  She would never be the same person again, but maybe, just maybe, there was a life to be lived that would bring her new joy and save the lives of others.  Just maybe.

Dr. Luke Bradshaw was born and grew up in Dallas, Texas to hard-working parents that cherished all of their children.  Luke grew up loving and close to his parents and siblings.  That didn’t change as the children became adults and moved from the family home.  Luke loved school, his teachers and a few close studious friends.  They discussed their classes, books, girls, and how to get the best scholarships.  As a result, he had a choice of universities.  After careful study he chose the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California in Los Angeles.  He never had a regret.  His internship brought new focus and understanding of what he wanted to do with his life.  His mission became to bring joy and laughter into the lives of those emotionally unable to function or be productive.  He thrived on discovery and returning patients to a productive life style.  He completed his education and moved into private practice.  As his success grew he became the leading psychiatric doctor at Benjamin Brooks Hospital and Mental Clinic in Las Angeles.  

Dr. Bradshaw was divorced from his wife, Teague Bradshaw, after seven years.  He covered his heartbreak well following his own practices to seek a return to happiness.  Regardless of his resistance to new love, he falls in love with a patient that even he doesn’t see any progress.  Yet, fate is a factor in any life, and his is no exception.  Life is not as he expected.
