Tonia, a teenage girl, raised by her grandmother, lacks emotional, nurturing, and spiritual balance needed in facing a domino effect of life’s circumstances, a true-to-life story that women, young and old, should have in their collection.
Tonia butler is struggling to make sense of her life while being thrown a few monkey wrenches in what she thought she knew, and could always count on; threatening to strip her of any remaining will power to heal from an abortion and the abandonment of both parents.
Granny seems to be an evil and bitter woman after raising six of her own children, then taking on the challenge of bring up Tonia and her sisters. As a woman from the old school, she isn’t one to offer compassion, communication, or understanding and begins to resent Tonia for not abiding by her ‘rules’. Granny has her reasons, and though justifiable, she refuses to acknowledge her final decisions that affect Tonia, as it did with her own daughters.
Mark is college bound and ready to endure the challenges of Ohio State University. However, he never expected to met the woman of his dreams and be pulled into a world of confusion. Mark is the good guy all around the board, but when his woman shows her true self, he’s left feeling helpless. He finds that words and love can’t relieve his woman or friend Tonia, leaving him emotionally wrecked.
Tamera is Tonia’s religious and very long distant aunt. Being the youngest of five girls, and victim of all the hell she sustained due to her sibling’s indiscretions, she sympathizes with Tonia while rehashing her own skeletons. As Tamera fights against the ill feelings toward her mother, her faith is being compromised.
