Divided Emotions

Book excerpt: Divided Emotions is a story about a moderately successful 36 year old, single African-American mother dedicated to raising her son with whom she shares a very close-knit bond. After years of forsaking a personal life of her own by dating very little and not even once having any parts of a serious relationship, ‘Zari’ finally allows herself to indulge in a wonderful love affair while her son ‘Tre’ (who is 17 by now) is away for the summer. For Zari and her lover it is a magical time as they experience each other and they both fall deeply in love very quickly. There are issues however. As happy as Zari and her lover are about being with each other, their love affair must be kept a secret between just the two of them. If Tre ever found out about the affair it would more than likely destroy his relationship with his mother, spawn hatred for her and open emotional wounds that even after given plenty of time.............may well never heal!!!!!!!!
