This book is dedicated to an author who inspired me to write again. After my first novel was burned in a fire I didn't have the heart or will to write again, until I read a book in Wattpad. A lovely person whom I had never met in person wrote that book, she is such an inspiration! You touched my soul and helped me to write again. Thank you, Melanie Corona, you saved me! Special Thanks to Carolyn Prickett my Personal Assistant/Creative Editor. Also, much appreciation to my Beta Readers: Rheanon Miles, Deb Keenan, Heather Hall, James DiBenedetto, John Harper.
Prologue
The apparition appeared in a thunderous flash of bright light; with her midnight hair swirling wildly around her glowing angelic face. Gazing deeply and passionately into her eyes, it is as if he has known her forever; the soulfulness of her bright sea-green eyes pleads for his help. A euphoric feeling of light and love flows freely through him. She floats to him with outstretched arms but as he reaches for her she fades from his sight. "Please do not go, come back!" He cries aloud. "I need you; you are my heart, my soul, my life." He wakes in a cold sweat to the sound of an urgent pounding. The dream will haunt his memory of her, his angel. There must be a God.

Chapter 1
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"Troianne! Why have you locked this bathroom door? I need to go NOW! You know this old woman can't hold it very long. Come on outta there 'fore I pee my pants!"
"Just a minute Meemaw, I'm busy."
One minute more is all she needed in order to see if the test would tell her if she really was pregnant or not. She was two months late and terrified to think that one night of passion could alter her life forever. When she thought about it, being twenty-one in her third year at the University of Kentucky wasn't the most terrible time to be pregnant; although it sure did damper her plans to major in World History and become a teacher. Troianne excelled at anything she put her heart into. Her dream would just take a bit longer.
Ellie and William were loving and very attentive parents to their only child. Their tragic end had rocked Troianne's young eighteen years to its very core. Broken hearted and left alone with no siblings or any other family in the small community of Pleasure Ridge Park; Troianne decided to pack up all of her belongings and her, seven-toes on each paw, tiger-striped cat named Diesel and move to Lexington to live with her ailing Grandmother, Louanne Waines, in her old farmhouse. Troianne used her inheritance money to go to the University of Kentucky to follow her dream of becoming a teacher. Now, however, she will have to rethink everything. Her life was changing quickly, too quickly.
Now looking down at the pregnancy test stick in her long slender fingers a low groan escaped her full pink lips. Right there glaring at her big as a neon sign was a plus sign on the stick she had recently urinated on indicating that yes she was definitely pregnant!
"Oh Lord" "Now what do I do?" She asks herself. Looking into the mirror above the sink she sees her deep green eyes filling with tears. Grabbing fistfuls of her long black hair she feels like screaming as the reality hits her.
"I am pregnant! Really pregnant, shit!"
BAM! Her Grandmother hits the door with her tiny fist one last time.
"Troianne Lee you better open this door right this minute or I'm gonna whoop your hide!"
"I'm serious girl, I gotta go!"
