Every time I think I've had enough And start heading for the door There's a very strange vibration Piercing me right through the core It say's "Turn around, you fool You know you love him more and more" Tell me why is it so? Don't want to let you go! We are all familiar with the Gloria Gaynor hit Never Can Say Goodbye, in which a women is mysteriously and powerful drawn back to a man and the anguish-able passion that is their relationship. When I researched Rhonda Ricardo's runaway entertaining and highly "insightful" book "Cherries Over Quicksand," which talks about women "who know or suspect their men have one foot out the door and can feel the ground crumbling under their feet," I immediately understood why a man could never have sung the Gaynor song. In Cherries Over Quicksand (and yes we will explain the title's meaning during the show), Ricardo adeptly, sensitively and even humorously relates "colorful stories, mostly about men who have left their women and then ached to return," and the reasons why many men ultimately just couldn't say goodbye and why some knew they must. Joining me of course is none other than Rhonda Ricardo, to share her own unique observations of the men (and women) she interviewed from all parts of America for Cherries Over Quicksand.
