From Scandalous Unwed Teenage Mother To Respected Professional Woman (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434318862)

A contemporary novel inspired by a true story, it depicts the life of Kate, from the unusual circumstances surrounding her birth through her painful childhood days of sibling rejection. As time passes, she experiences her glance with first-love only to have it quickly removed from her by an older brother who insists that the object of her affection, an-eighteen-year-old gentleman, is "just too old for her." While trying to cope with this loss, Kate experiences another loss that devastates her. Out of rebellion and anger, Kate sets out to make better memories that'll help her forget the bad ones. This pursuit sends her into the waiting arms of a forty-year-old married man working for her school. Concluding she deserves nothing better, she yields to his advances while secretly looking forward to shocking her brother. She imagines how he'll feel when he discovers her hot romance in progress. Certainly, since he thought eighteen was "too old," he'd say a forty-year-old was "an antique." Before long their torrid affair is well known throughout the community. It becomes the town talk and an even hotter topic once Kate becomes pregnant and drops out of school. Only her quick-thinking abilities provide maneuvers keeping her lover out of prison and allowing the affair to continue as it climbs the heights of raw passion and experiences the gambit of turmoil. The story traces Kate's return to school and the hostilies she face while struggling to graduate and go on to college. A gifted learner, Kate excels academically and in her involvement in school activities, which acts as a catalyst for a less hostile environment as she continues her role of sterling student by day, mother and lover by night. The work reveals how Kate successfully transfers her reputation from scandalous to a repected professional woman.
