Story Behind The Book

The poem in the prologue titled A love of my own was an actual poem I wrote four years ago and it expressed what I was truly feeling in my heart at the time. My character Toni shared some of these same emotions so I decided to allow her to use my poem in the book

Jada lives a happy, beautiful life with her family, is Toni jealous? Why did Toni date Darien, and was she ever attracted to Benjamin? How did the lives of the characters interwine in unexpected ways? Friends share joy, tears and are there for each other, but do they lead the same lifestyle? When secrets from the past are revealed, will the friendship ever be the same? What did Toni do when she found out she was pregnant? How did Toni react when Benjamin was back in her life? Who became upset about Gina's pregnancy? Who is Toni's true love, and what was their favorite song? Why did Benjamin go to jail, and who was Vince in love with? I highly recommend this novel to all contemporary fiction lovers, who enjoy compelling stories, with a blend of romance and drama. Terri D. creates an intriguing story, packed with twists-and-turns, based on the trials-and-tribulations of friendship and relationships that can indeed return to haunt us. The author introduces a plot that becomes thought-provoking page-after-page as the reader craves for more. Terri D. makes one think about insecurity, self-doubt, and traumatic issues that women deal with throughout their lives. Touching, enjoyable moments exist as well as betrayal and redemption. Do the female characters that come to life within the pages of this emotional story exist inside all women? Will Jada and Toni be friends forever? Will Toni lead the life she longs for? Does a fine line exist between love and hate? &quot;YESTERDAY'S LIES&quot; is as compelling as THE COLOR PURPLE and as entertaining as WAITING TO EXHALE, with Whitney Houston, and Angela Bassett.
