Description

A set of triplets who overcame the death of their mother and made a name for themselves. Three different siblings, three different minds. Betrayal and regret takes them on an adventure of self-discovery and forgiveness. I have two sisters with my face trying to kill each other on our family vacation, an on again off again girlfriend with commitment issues and a motor mouth grandmother.

As a successful multi millionaire, a leader in a community and a big...never mind, you'd think I had everything right? Well I do, I can get anything I want I should be happy right? WRONG! The drama I'm facing, the pressure I'm under! I'm going to need another vacation.

Living larger than life has its price!

Book description. Sariya-Marie Greene was dealt a “bad hand” from the time she came into the world. Growing up she experienced hard times but nothing could have prepared her for the series of events that followed one confession. She found herself thrown into what felt like a never-ending tailspin of a bad storm. Would she make it out and defy the odds or would she succumb to the evils of life and give up right on the edge of her breakthrough?
