Electa Rome Parks lives with her husband, Nelson, and two children. With a B.A. in marketing, she is currently working on her next novel and fulfilling her passion as a writer.
Mercedes "Mer" Lexus Jackson is leaving Atlanta and traveling home to a small Georgia town to spend the summer taking care of her mother, Miss Betty. They have a tumultuous relationship because during Mer's childhood, she witnessed her mother's unscrupulous lifestyle with anger and fear. Mercedes has lived her adult life with feelings of low self-worth and behaved as if she neither needs nor deserves a man or loving relationship. When she meets the handsome, churchgoing, and hardworking Darius, he challenges her self-destructive behavior and self-deprecating attitudes. After spending every available moment with him and sharing secrets about her family, she discovers that he has not been honest with her. His revelation confirms all of her negative feelings about men and relationships. Yet, even with the hurt and disappointment, she acknowledges her destructive behavior and vows to make changes. The summer proves to be a turning point for Mercedes--she repairs her relationship with her mother and takes real inventory of her self-worth and feelings about men and relationships. Lillian Lewis
