The Running Hearts Series- Book One Senator Kamala Harris, an ambitious, powerful Black woman in her late 30s, is the youngest U.S. Senator from California and now a leading contender in the race for the presidency. With her polished image, elite education, and clean public record, she's a symbol of hope-especially for Black women across America. But Kamala has long buried a personal truth: she is attracted to women. Her political consultants have always advised her to keep that part of herself hidden, fearing the backlash could derail her career. During a campaign stop in Houston, Texas, Kamala visits a local school as part of her education initiative. There, she meets Kiana Matthews, a vibrant, passionate 28-year-old teacher and girls' basketball coach. Kiana is everything Kamala isn't-unapologetically authentic, a bit rough around the edges, and grounded in community. Kiana has an 8-year-old daughter, Zuri, who is wise beyond her years and immediately forms a bond with the senator. What starts as professional admiration quickly turns into something deeper. Kamala finds herself drawn to Kiana's warmth and strength, while Kiana is intrigued by the powerful, poised woman who seems to be quietly unraveling behind the scenes. But Kiana harbors secrets-ones that could destroy them both if they come to light: a hidden past involving Zuri's father, a scandal that once cost her a scholarship and nearly her teaching license, and a dangerous ex who hasn't truly let her go. As the campaign heats up, rumors begin to swirl. A political rival leaks intimate photos suggesting Kamala may be having an affair with a woman. Kiana is forced into hiding, and Kamala is faced with the biggest decision of her life: protect her image, or embrace who she truly is-even if it means sacrificing her dreams. Meanwhile, Zuri, caught between her mother's secrets and the senator's sudden presence in their lives, becomes an emotional anchor, revealing truths neither woman is ready to face.

A story of two women, one of the church and one of the state but it isn't quiet a regular "church and state". After Karen woke up from her coma she experienced selective amnesia... some stuff she remembered and some she did not, she remembered important parts, important people... But one person who was extremely important was forgotten. After years thinking she could live with the fact that Karen was out there being happy, Kamala meets her for the first time in a long time... and the entire thought of it changes
