In spite of her lightest, light skin, Zarah zealously broadcasts she's "the blackest black chick anyone could ever meet." Proud of her race and heritage, Silver Currents of Change explores the life of a young, stunningly beautiful college student and the fears she has to rise above or burn to the ground when she crosses the racial divide by falling in love with a white man. So, how did it happen?
After growing up with an attitude toward whites passed down from her two black parents-children of the 1960s Deep South, Zarah is a strong black woman who bases her racial identity on being proudly "pro black" and "anti-white supremacy." Her lifelong dream of working in magazine publishing, in Mississippi, means she has to start out working for a white-owned publishing company. Her dream is to one day start her own company, but she knows she has a lot to learn before she's ready to do that. Since she wants to stay in Mississippi after earning her last college degree, she decides she'll just have to put aside her personal crusade against white supremacy and not challenge the status quo, at least long enough to learn what she needs to learn. But, when she meets the non-conformist owner of Wilson Publishing, he's different from what she expected, and she accepts an internship opportunity at his company that quickly leads to career success. A man of some mystery who comes with a few big secrets, the attraction between the Intern and the publisher is so strong, it leads to her falling in love with the last man on Earth she ever expected to fall for. On the one hand, her new romance seems to be the best thing that ever happened to her. But on the other hand, it poses so many obstacles to everlasting happiness, she has to question whether love she thought she'd found could ever survive.

"Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case.

The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door.
