The Temptation of Fate
Literary Fiction
Temptation of Fate showcases everything you can expect to see in the lives of naïve teenagers who think they know everything about life. There is JESSICA WEATHERS, a 17 year-old teenager in the suburb of Chicago. She is such a spoilt brat that her profane vocabulary will make a sailor green with envy. Weathers cannot wait to be free from parental control. LAKEERA WATSON, on the other side of Chicago, this time, a tough inner city neighborhood, is a 16-year old who walks in on her mother and boyfriend in an intimate situation. There is also ERIC TURNER, a 23 year-old who rises through thick and thin from a notorious Chicago south-side neighborhood to become a health care professional. He however commits some moral and legal blunders that threaten to derail everything for which he has worked. MARY MILLER, Turner’s mother and his strong pillar of support, struggles against all odds and stereotypes to ensure the emancipation of her kids from a ghetto existence. Now that her son appears to be on a downward spiral, the woman springs into action not only to save him from going to jail but also to avoid his relapse into a life of doldrums. |
