Opis

A story of deception, betrayal and redemption. It's been said politics makes strange bedfellows but so does addiction and denial. When it comes to bed partners, Ian Tyrone Johnson has no shortage. Despite being raised in one of the deadliest housing projects in Baltimore City, his devastating good looks and home boy charm are a magnet for men and women of all walks of life and Ian obliges them all. In the world of addiction, sex for hire and friends with benefits, one never knows who's pitching and who's catching or for which team. Adamant about his heterosexuality, he keeps his two worlds separate but unbeknownst to him, they've collided and his time has run out. Will his confessions be enough to grant the redemption he seeks or will he and others be forced to settle his debt with their lives? Holier than thou, arrogant, upper middle class Bartholomew Worthington III abhors homosexuality and believes an eternity in flames not punishment enough for such perversion. Leading others on the path of righteousness, he faults his wife's frigidity for his sexual infidelity. Eleanor Fisher escaped the ghetto by sheer determination. When a diagnosis of cervical cancer and subsequent hysterectomy shatter her life-long dream of becoming a mother, she finds herself divorced, addicted to prescription pain medication and suicidal until someone gives her a dog who, in turn, gives her a reason to live. Dr. Musafah Jones Ph. D., MPH, is the only one who knows Ian's secret. By keeping it he's forced to question his moral and legal obligation to his fellow man. But before he can assist Ian in his quest for redemption, he must first reveal his darkest secret and slay his own demons. Are the ignorant ever really innocent? Sometimes what you don't know can not only hurt you, it can kill you.
