Produktbeschreibung

When Lieutenant Governor Charlene Ford loses everything in a deadly car crash, nothing feels the same.

One minute, she is at the top of her game as the first African American lesbian lieutenant governor of New York State. The next minute, she is trying to keep a stiff upper lip as she watches the gravediggers bury the two walnut coffins containing her son JJ and her life partner, Regina. Her family is gone. Her world is gone. All she wants is to go away and disappear for a while; to just get lost until the pain in her heart stops. She sneaks away from her security escorts and borrows her chief of staff's ancient jeep. She and Rusty, her loyal Akita, climb into the old jeep and head for parts unknown.

Is it because she's too tired drive or is it the unfamiliar road's sharp curves that cause her accident? As she crashes through the guardrail, she struggles to put on the brakes. They don't work and she stops fighting fate. "Reggie honey, I'll be with you soon," are Charlene's last conscious thoughts as her car floats in mid-air for a long moment, then tumbles down the mountainside.

The next time Charlene opens her eyes, the pain is tremendous. A woman is standing over her with a knife, then kneels next her. What does she want? Charlotte wonders if the woman is going to finish the job of ending her life. Charlene looks into worried eyes and hears a surprisingly soothing voice say everything will be okay. The pain increases tenfold when she tried to stands as the woman suggests, then everything goes black.

Autorenporträt

B.L. has always been in love with books and the words in them. She never thought she could create something with the words she knew. When she read 'To Kill A Mocking Bird,' she realized everyday experiences could be written about in a powerful, memorable way. She wasn't quite sure what to do with that knowledge so she kept on reading.

Walter Mosley's short stories about Easy Rawlins and his friends encouraged BL to start writing in earnest. She felt she had a story to tell...maybe several of them. She'd always kept a diary of some sort, scraps of paper, pocketsize, notepads, blank backs of agency forms, or in the margins of books. It was her habit to make these little notes to herself. She thought someday she'd make them into a book.

She wrote a workplace memoir based on the people she met during her 20 years as a property manager of city-owned buildings. Writing the memoir, led her to consider writing books that were not job-related. Once again, she did...producing romance novels with African American lesbians as main characters. She wrote the novels because she couldn't find stories that matched who she wanted to read about ...over forty, African American and female.
