Overview

Keisha Williams has her life together or so she tells herself. At twenty six, she's a nurse, a homeowner, and a single mother to two beautiful children in Jacksonville, Florida. She's survived loss, heartbreak, and betrayal, building a stable life from the inheritance her adoptive parents left behind. But when a Facebook message from Shanice Johnson the biological mother who gave her up twenty-six years ago appears in her inbox, Keisha's carefully constructed world begins to shift. Shanice is dying. Two years sober after decades of crack addiction, she's fighting liver failure and seeking the one thing she couldn't have when Keisha was born: a chance to be a mother. As Keisha cautiously opens her heart to the woman who gave her life, she discovers that love doesn't have to be perfect to be real, and that forgiveness can heal wounds she didn't know she carried. But life has more complications waiting. The drug house across the street threatens her children's safety. Her third pregnancy by a man she believes is a criminal forces her to confront her pattern of choosing the wrong men. And when the truth about baby daddy number three is finally revealed, everything she thought she knew turns upside down.
