| Abstract |
After the death of her mom and graduating from nursing school, Jayla Stewart saw no reason to stay in North Carolina. The quiet and simple life she had enjoyed for so many years came to an abrupt halt after relocating to Atlanta, Georgia. She finally had a support system again, and it felt wonderful. Niecy, her friend of four years, was like a sister to her and encouraged her to relocate to Atlanta. She found a job at Riverside General and a house all in a matter of days. Packing up the u-haul, Jayla sold the house she and her mother called home and headed for Atlanta. Just when she thought things couldn't get any better, she met the man of her dreams, and life was incredibly good. Almost overnight, things took a turn for the worse and Jayla's fighting to stay alive. Being strong, smart, and independent only went so far . . . when danger of the unknown enemy alerted, none of those things mattered. |
