Book Description
They say the strongest women has to go through the deepest pain, especially trying to come out the project and overcome heartache and disloyalty. For me, that fire is life itself, blazing around me, threatening to consume everything I've ever loved. Every passing day marks a test of my resolve, with my kids watching me battle the blaze of adversity that's my constant shadow. The man I love and yearn for, the one who used to be my rock-has he given up on us? I find myself haunted by the thought of him with another women, each imagined whisper and caress like a razor slicing through my heart. The rumors are a relentless storm, each word a drop of salt on my open wounds. Is he out there, sharing the smiles that were once mine, whispering in her ear with his deep voice. 'I love you' to another? My friends, the ones I counted on, seem to look at me with eyes that mirror back my fears, adding to the torrent of doubt. The world doesn't stop for my pain; it keeps turning, each day a reminder of the fragility of my hopes and dreams. As I struggle to stand tall for my children, to show them what resilience looks like, I'm torn by the war waging inside me-a war between giving up and pushing forward, between succumbing to despair and rising to fight another day. With every reason to throw in the towel, I keep asking myself, 'What if he has strayed? What will I do?' But it's when I look into my children's eyes that I find the courage to face whatever truth awaits. They are my why, my reason to never stop seeking the truth... and maybe, just maybe, my own slice of happiness. In the end, only one question echoes through my mind: Will I emerge from this battle with my heart whole, or will I find the strength to forge a new path if my worst fears are confirmed? Find out in this raw and gripping African American tale of love, betrayal, and second chance romance.

Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0142001732
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
“Thick with crime, passion, and backroom banter” (The New Yorker), Roscoe is an odyssey of great scope and linguistic verve, a deadly, comic masterpiece from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ironweed It's V-J Day, the war is over, and Roscoe Conway, after twenty-six years as the second in command of Albany's notorious political machine, decides to quit politics forever. But there's no way out, and only his Machiavellian imagination can help him cope with the erupting disasters. Every step leads back to the past—to the early loss of his true love, the takeover of city hall, the machine's fight with FDR and Al Smith to elect a governor, and the methodical assassination of gangster Jack "Legs" Diamond. William Kennedy’s Albany Cycle of novels reflect what he once described as the fusion of his imagination with a single place. A native and longtime resident of Albany, New York, his work moves from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, chronicling family life, the city’s netherworld, and its spheres of power—financial, ethnic, political—often among the Irish-Americans who dominated the city in this period. The novels in his cycle include, Legs, Billy Phelan’s Greatest Game, Ironweed, Quinn’s Book, Very Old Bones, The Flaming Corsage, and Roscoe.
