Pearline LaWanda Nicolls (Mrs. Oscar Wayne Nicolls) will tell you that she is not the town busy-body. As she tells the girls at the Curly Q, with everything she has to do she certainly has no time for idleness or gossiping. She works part time at the Stop N Buy and helps her friend, Carmella, clean houses. The rest of her time is spent trying to take care of her own house and family and helping her husband – a proud twenty year employee at the city sanitation plant - try to make ends meet and keep the wolves from the door. Of course, she also must contend with an on-going rivalry with an uppity sister, a son who is in danger of becoming religious and thirteen large dogs, and the rigors of being a volunteer in an election campaign. Then there is the fact that her mamma suddenly goes missing and then reappears with information that Pearline could well do without. Add this to the fact that Pearline finds herself deeply involved in the events surrounding the murder of a popular high school coach and the subsequent trial of the accused killer, and an ordinary year for Pearline becomes quite unforgettable.

A modern day love story about a couple named Zeke and Legs. Zeke sprung from a world filled with danger and secrets. He was raised by two parents that instilled strong moral values in him. Zeke instead began to favor the excitement of the street life. Legs, on the other hand, was a stunning beauty from a loving family that fell victim to the negative trappings of urban life. Their paths crossed as they were beginning to live a normal life. Legs and Zeke fell madly in love in only a short time. Their lust and desire for each became a priority. They decided to marry when a child was on the way. This began the drama that was their life. Keep an open mind as you relive their lives.The story is written with truth and detailed accounts of the many events that took place. They both found God and sought redemption through Jesus the Christ. Don't let the discomfort of their acts deter you from reading their entire story. Remember; they had to live through it too! The real heroes of the story are God and Christ; consequently, without the resurrecting power of the almighty their lives may have remained lost. I suggest you keep a Bible close by; just as I did while writing the story.
