Sage Kennedy is beginning a new position as Chief of Communications for the newly-elected governor of Georgia. She is a woman of commitment, passion, and vision—and no one understands this beautiful and desirable woman more than her fiancé Ramion Sandidge.
Ramion is an ambitious attorney with dreams to launch his own law firm and pursue political goals. Sage and Ramion are crazy-in-love and deeply committed to each other, but face obstacles that challenge their relationship. As Ramion makes moves to become a state senator against his vindictive ex-girlfriend and navigate around family complications and corruption.
As Sage embraces her bright future, she is pulled into the dark past. The death of a family member compels Sage to return home after a ten-year absence.
Sage is pulled into an emotional storm that forces her to confront buried memories and shattering secrets. She remembers her father painting beautiful art when she was a little girl and how his death dramatically changed her life. Opening the door to her past brings a swirl of tumultuous emotions, a mystery surrounding her father’s death, and a shocking surprise that connects Sage’s past to the present and ushers in a whirlwind of challenging life changes.

"Robin Allen has done a beautiful job emphasizing family reunions. The prose is strong: clear, informative, and concise. I love the tone-it is celebratory and triumphant. I love the thematic symmetry of the poetry. This is lovely crafted work--one that should engage and inspire with a wonderful balance between prose and poetry."
