Their Backs Against the Wall: Love, Money, and Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462043576)

Jerry is a well-educated man. Not only does he have a college degree, but he's street-smart, having grown up selling drugs on the streets of Savannah, Georgia. He enlists in the army, but upon his return to civilian life, he goes back to his old, dangerous ways. After receiving his MBA, though, he finally realizes it's time to move on; he heads to far-off Chicago, Illinois, looking for a new, clean start. He meets Karen-a beautiful woman who seemingly comes from a different world. She is highly educated, and her family fought brave battles in the Civil Rights movement. Jerry can't help himself; he falls head-over-heels in love. Karen shows him a way to live a life of love, but she also shows him how to love her-in the bedroom and out. It's never easy to escape the past, though, as Jerry soon discovers. Along with his newfound feelings for Karen, the skeletons in his closet come knocking. Can two people from different places and different backgrounds survive the sins of the past? In order to defeat dangerous obstacles, Jerry and Karen will have to lean on their passion for one another-or else fall into old habits and lost love.
