About the Book

This wonderful story is set in modern Chicago with a mistaken identity crisis, murder, obsession, rape, a rare case of child abuse like you have never heard before, a love affair to die for and failed relationships proves to be quite a challenge for Regina as she seeks stability in her life.

Well, I have news for you. No one will stop me from moving in with Johnny. He loves me and I love him. We are planning to get married and have children."

Out of the blue Molly raised a gun and Bam! Bam! Bam! Shots were flying and Stacey fell to the ground. "Stacey! Oh Stacey! Stacey! Don't die on me. Please, no!" Molly suddenly looked at me and said, "If I can't have him, you can't either." She lifted the gun and aimed it at me and said, "You are next bitch!" Bam... The headlines read, TEACHER OF THE YEAR WAS SHOT AND FIANCEE MURDERED ...
