The author takes us through a spine-tingling journey where CIA agent, Julian Paulino, should have run for the hills when the beautiful, Hannah Yates, asked the bartender to bring him a tropical cocktail. He could not resist her. Her hypnotizing eyes captivated him. He should have turned the other way because what welcomed him when he woke up was an unbelievable scene of torture, hunger and death. Now, Julian faces one obstacle after another as he tries to find his way back to the woman he really loves. Caught in the Black Widow’s web of vengeance, can he save himself? Can he save the others? The story begins in a poverty-stricken village near Congo Kinshasa Africa. It is there that the affluent Samuel Hawthorn Yates promises twelve-year old Makena's mother that he will take Makena and her younger brother, Tayo, to America. The mother is dying from the aids virus and believes this will be a way of protecting her children. However, instead of being protected, Makena is taken to a palace plagued with slavery. She is beaten, raped, forced into an unwanted marriage and gives birth to her daughter, Hannah Yates. After years of anguish, Makena and Tayo discover that Mr. Yates raped Hannah. Now a man, Tayo leads a massacre, murdering everyone who kept them in captivity all those years. Set in all places, the USA, land of the free, where the slave trade had been abolished for over two hundred years. “Wrath of the Black Widow” is the dramatic and often dark story of how Makena and her daughter seek revenge for the brutality of slavery. It is not until, Hannah, a bronze beauty with turquoise eyes, captures Julian Paulino, from the Rio Grande Valley that their world of vengeance may crumble and come to an end.
