Readers are saying

“The novel is populated not with characters, but men and women who hurt and heal, love and lose, and love and live.”

— FoxieRoxie

“I loved the characters & storylines; and especially the use of intermittent, rarely heard southern phrases and settings she interjects.”

A powerful connection

It was not the life she had planned. Nadine was looking forward to getting her first real job, then starting a business. But when she finds herself pregnant before she even finishes high school, the young man’s mother forces them into wedlock.

Carrie also saw her plans for a better life derailed after a fling leaves her pregnant with twins. At the center of their angst is Cyrus, a man not yet ready to be a father… with his wife… or his girlfriend. Still, Cyrus manages to keep the two lives separate while coveting the life he really wants.

What’s done in the dark

Secrets don’t stay buried for long. Years later, when the three of them accidentally meet at a protest rally, everything changes. The fireworks that ensue suddenly alter the dynamic of these relationships forever.
