Who Would Think That One Act of Love Could Affect Four Generations?
On December 29, 1930, Mildred "Millie" Mayfield gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Addie. Millie teaches Addie three things that she feels matters most in life; inner beauty, reading books and giving your “special something’ only to the man you marry. Addie lives up to the first two. On one autumn night in 1949, Addie falls for the irresistible red curls and vibrant green eyes of a young man from the other side of the railroad tracks. Neither knowing that the consequences of their love would have lasting effects. Known as one of the greatest white jazz pianists in New York, Timmy Taylor never had a reason to question his identity – until truth and betrayal strike. Will Timmy be able to push past the pain? Beautiful and talented, Nina Taylor inherited her father's gift, but not his looks. Certain that's how he made it big, she dives deep into an obsession that could be deadly. Will Nina learn to love the skin she’s in before it’s too late? Spanning from 1920 to 1996, this captivating tale of secrets, betrayal, and forgiveness will pull at the strings of your heart, and keep you turning pages while you pray for a happy ending.

I want you to laugh a lot. I believe that
laughing is like a sweet-smelling aroma for the soul and the heart. I used to
laugh all the time. Back when life was good and innocent, and I was good and
innocent.
Don’t prove my dream a lie.
Don’t be a caged butterfly.
Become something and someone that is even
better than what I could see.
I don’t know what your new parents will
call you, but in my heart, I whispered Thomas Gray Livingston III in your ears,
if you be a boy. Mama thinks that you are and like I said before, she ain’t
never wrong.
If I could give you one piece of advice,
I’d tell you this—love the skin you’re in.
