My Award Winning Novel
Which is worse: to love your mother fiercely only to lose her or to never have had a mother at all? Obie and Princess never debated this issue. They were equally motherless; it's what forever binds them.
Obie is a former street child and junkie's son; Princess was raised on luxurious Park Avenue. When she's three, Obie is Princess' babysitter; in her teens he's her best friend and confidant. At eighteen Princess dreams of becoming an R&B diva and Obie, whose "Rags-to-Riches" transformation into a music video superstar/director captured America's attention knows just how to make that dream come true.
Along the path to stardom Obie and Princess inevitably fall head-over-heels in love yet Princess will never be satisfied being one of Obie's groupies.
Their social class differences, skin color complexes, a stalking ex-boyfriend and a bout with depression all strain the budding relationship, but when Obie's abandon-ment issues crash head first into Princess's need for emotional distance the fireworks really begin. Then the question becomes:
Can a motherless child ever truly open his or her heart enough to love someone else?
Up Next: Part 2
In this second part of the Obie and Princess saga, the Princess who returns to the mansion is far different, both physically and emotionally, then the Princess who left with Einstein the night before. Promoting her latest CD release gets temporarily lost in the scramble to pick up the shattered pieces of her life yet Obie finds Princess's "Carry On As Usual" attitude a bit hard to take. Forced to separate by conflicting career demands, their skin color conflicts and social class issues ignite, then blow up in their faces. While Obie and Princess ponder how long they can make their relationship work, three deaths in a row rock their very foundation. The final tragedy pushes a still fragile Princess over the edge, and Obie wonders if things will ever be right again. Is there anything that can save Princess?
