Carla Stewart is a budding poet/author in high school, however, she puts her dreams on the back burner and opts for the safety of a college education to prepare herself for life in the real world as an attorney.
Alone and pregnant, she is viciously attacked during the night in her apartment and barely survives. She returns home with her baby, recovers and becomes a successful attorney with a New Jersey law firm.
Then Carla gets a call from her cousin Justine, whose police officer husband has just been killed in the line of duty on the west coast. Carla makes the decision to stay on the west coast, and goes back to her first love…writing. She is discovered, becomes a well-known author and finally begins to have an interest in a relationship with another man, who soon becomes too serious and Carla severs the relationship.
A professional basketball player engineers a book signing and while everything finally seems to be falling into place in Carla’s love-life, it appears that some neurotic fan has decided if he can’t have her, no one else will, either.
The strength of Carla’s faith in God, the love of her husband and family, and the support of Carla’s childhood friends are severely tested by Carla’s stalker, and the twists and turns of fate make this romantic suspense tale hard to put down once you start.

REVIEW
Ms. Wilson claims she’s a poet, not an author, but her first tentative steps into fiction indicate that that is just not so. She has written a gut-wrenching tale of life as seen from the African-American perspective, which is so detailed I’m sure there’s more than just a little of her own story here.
Set against the seemingly incompatible background of professional basketball and the literary world, Ms. Wilson's characters are bigger than life and, yet, are so touchable and vulnerable they could be your next door neighbors. And through it all, the ominous threat of an unknown but very real danger around every corner had this reviewer hard pressed to put the book down.
