TV Actress, award-winning playwright and novelist Alretha Thomas brings us a psychological thriller about two mothers that is told in two timelines—2009 and 2019. One is an elementary school nurse living in New York who battles mental health issues. The other is a news reporter living in California who aspires to be the first African American editor at the newspaper where she works.  Both women are harboring life-changing secrets, involving a missing child and an attack.  As the story unfolds, it’s revealed that these women have a past connection. The two stories converge in a very explosive finale. Thomas shares how her own traumatic childhood and losing her mother at age 14 has influenced the writing of this novel. The former model is a SAG/AFTRA actress who has appeared in numerous films, television series, and commercials. She also appeared on two iconic soap operas, Days of Our Lives and General Hospital. She currently is a series regular on Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living, a television program on BET that’s in its fifth year.
