This tragedy not only steals her birth mother from her, it leaves her father to raise her at the tender age of ten.\u003cbr\u003eAlready devastated beyond belief, Jalayah clings to her father for support, but with little time outside of work for her, he is forced to remarry. When he chooses his daughter's eighteen-year-old babysitter, Ashley, as his bride, and allows her to legally adopt Jalayah, it completely kills it for her making the next eight years of her life a living hell.\u003cbr\u003eFrom family problems to relationship issues, Jalayah goes through it until her best friend Taliana whisks her off to Arizona soon as an incredible career opportunity arises. There they start a new life, but it isn't long before another tragedy arises in Portland and Uncle Earl calls them back during the worst time of the year for Jalayah. Christmas time!\u003cbr\u003eWith recollections of the past invading her mind along with the discovery of her stepmother's secret man, Dylan, Jalayah returns with vengeance on her mind. As always, Taliana is right there beside her and is ready to back up any decision her best friend makes.\u003cbr\u003eWill it be the right one?
