Tina Brooks McKinney is back with the third thrilling installment in her "drama" trilogy—where people will do anything to get the love they feel they deserve. When Tarcia finds out the man she's been trying to snag already has a family, she becomes desperate and willing to go to any lengths to get back what she's lost—even when it means tearing up another family to pin this married man down for herself. Claiming pregnancy is just another move for her, but one that might end her up in jail. At the same time, Sammie—a familiar face from All That Drama and Lawd, Mo' Drama—is battling through her own relationship problems as well, and her insecurities are hijacking any chance she might have for happiness. And while Jasmine, Sammie's half-sister, tries to help her make it through the tough times, she might end up as more of a hindrance to Sammie's emotional well-being. As the characters search for the perfect life, readers are put in tune with their boiling emotions and learn the cost of basing one's happiness on having a mate. How far should one go in pursuing love, and what happens when all these go-getters start trippin' over each other in the chase? Who, if any of them, will discover true bliss in the end?

Our children are the most precious gifts in this world. They are our joy. They are our future. They are our very lives. But who is to guide them? How do they learn what to do with what they have? So many people are abused from early age. Some carry that for the remainder of their lives and they pass the affliction from generation to generation. Many are not physically abused, and yet they still suffer from the lack of knowledge. Eric was a beautiful boy on his way to manhood. He never learned about the responsibilities of love and sex. Come along on this journey of a young, charismatic teenager whose charm and naivety lead him into a world of which he never knew existed. He, like many children are misguided into believing that there is no consequence to their actions. This story is a testimony to the survival of a global epidemic that continues to deteriorate the very fabric of our societies. Protect our children. Remember it is not always what we teach them that directs their paths in life; inevitably it is what we don't. Love must be guided. Misguided love will undoubtedly fail.
