About the Book

Catherine Russell lived the first twelve years of her life in poverty. In school, children teased her every day because her family was poor, or so she thought. Her best friend, Gerald Lucas, stood by her side throughout the hard times. As an only child, Gerald's parents supplied all of his wants and needs.

Yet when tragedy strikes Catherine's family, he sacrifices his own happiness to save her. Years later, Gerald's womanizing becomes too much for Catherine to bear, and the lifelong friends find themselves at odds. Gerald doesn't see anything wrong with having sex with twin sisters, and Catherine tries to convince Gerald that he is sinning.

Tragedy strikes again, and the two friends separate. Only to realize sometime later that they are meant to be together.
