Summary:

 Camille Jackson was rejected since birth over her dark skin complexion. She has grown a tough skin and doesn’t get attached to anyone because of how some people have viewed her without even getting to know her. However Camille opens her heart to a baby in need and for the first six months Camille has grown to love the baby as if she were her own. That is until the baby's biological father comes into the picture.

Hiram Whitfield Jr was brought up in one of the most well known Ku Klux Klan families in the south and as the only son he feels the pressure to carry on his family's tradition. After finishing his prison sentence all Hiram wants to do is change his life for the better and be a good father to his child. If that means being disowned by his bigoted family then so be it. Ironically enough Hiram would have never thought that Camille would be the one to be his rock and strength to do so.

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 7

I like how Hiram is trying to do better for his daughter.  Debbie, Mr. Hamilton, his mom, and all of his dad's cronies are going to be a problem.

Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 9

This little plot is going to backfire big time for Debbie, Ruth and Hiram's sisters.  None of them are considering what Hiram wants.  It's all about their wants and the Klan's wants.  Just based on this little bit of time, Hiram would hurt anyone who came after Camille and Savannah including family.

Poor Steven!! Hiram and Camille need to find some way to get him away from that family.  Neither parent cares and Grandma Ruth is a psycho.  Debbie's mother is the only one showing some sense.  It is never ok to be obsessed with anybody or thing. How is she able to rally all of these people to her cause and make them thing it is ok??  I hope that the klan are not able to surprise Hiram and Camille like the last time.

This was great. Debbie's crazy ass got what she deserved.  I'm glad Hiram saved Camille before psychoi Debbie tried to do her in.  How are all of these fools able to surround Hiram and he kicked ther asses still.  They are dumb.

Title: Chapter 48: Chapter 44

I don't think it is right for Camille to really have that type of guilt in her mind after Mildred Baxter and her birth siblings' behavior towards her.  Then Mildred passed away and the Baxter siblings did not even have the courtesy to tell Camille - the person they were guilting into helping them that she passed away and then had the nerve to exclude her from the funereal proceedings now that she is not useful to them.  Camille needs to write that whole Baxter family off.  They are all malicious and selfish in their actions and she is blessed to not be like them or raised by them.  She would have been treated horribly and should have no guilt over taking her time to decide on having a procedure that is invasive to her body to help some evil old woman who has never shown her a shred of kindness. Shame on that Baxter family.  Karma needs to be that bitch for that whole family.

I am glad you are back. I love this story so much. "I am ready to crip walk on his grave". Amen! I love your euphemisms and the way you write. Matt deserved all of that. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Welcome back!! Don't worry about those people rushing you through your story. Great work takes time and real life pushes its way in all the time. If people are that impatient, they can write their own story and leave you alone.

Matt can be mad about Shyla's cold shoulder, but he started this mess because he is in his feelings. Just because he has feelings for her doesn't mean her feelings are where his is or that because he dealt with his ex's reactions that Shyla's would be similar and so he can react similarly. He needs to really look outside himself. His reactions are arrogant and from a self reflected place. Shyla may be dramatic, but that does not mean she is in the wrong. 

I don't want her to move out and I do like them together, but they both have some growing up to do.

Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Why does he keep doing this!!!  Communication and trust is the key!!  They don't have to like each other or even be together, but they need to be on the same page and I think that Matt keeps undermining that.  If Shyla asks you not to tell Sullivan, then you should keep it to yourself until you guys have a better converesation and talk about it, not go behind her back and do what you want anyway.  Its disrespectful.

Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 5

Harris is crazy!!  Angelina needs to be careful.  Harris is going to be furious because Angie and Chance hooked up.  Angelina probably did not see their dating as a serious relationship.  It seemed as if they were still in the getting to know each other phase.  Moppet and Denise were right, there is something off about Harris and I think Angie is startng to see it too.

Jen has a lot of underlying issues and insecurities.  Why does she think Chance cheated?  He's a handsome and nice person; Of course other women would be attracted to that, but that doesn't mean he's reacting back or cheating on her.  Is she trying to justify her cheeating by making it seem as if he's cheating so its ok for her to do the same?  I can't wait for the next chapter. :-)

I really do not like Wendy!! Why is she so angry at Nathaniel if she has moved on??  She wants him to be miserable and lonely forever.  If she was as happy as she claimed to be, she would not want to rub her pregnancy in his face or be angry at the fact that he moved on.  Wendy and Walter are both hate filled, and spiteful; they totally deserve each other.

Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - Date Night, First Fight (Revised)

Diya needs to figure out what she wants in terms of a relationship with herself, Brandon and her family. I know that she started her journey with herself, but she needs to stop holding things back from Brandon and her family.  There are times to be nice and times when being nice won't get you what you want.  She needs to step out on faith that everything will work out the way it needs to and if those that were with you before are not because of it, then they were not meant to be. Unfortunately, its like that sometimes.

Also, if Brandon knows that Diya is uncomfortable with some of his behavior and she's lying about how she feels, then why doesn't he modify it?  He knows she's not ok with him and Marisol being so close, why doesn't he try to set some boundaries?  I don't know.  I guess i'm annoyed with both of them. :- I can't wait for the next chapter



Author's Response:

Diya does need to figure out what she wants from all the relationships in her life.  Problem is, she's only now realizing and/or coming to terms with the fact she wasn't getting it.  Why Brandon doesn't set more boundaries for Marisol is a tiny bit more complicated.  More on that in future chapters.  Thanks dcphoenix1!

Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - On the Outside

I hadn't read this story before to my detriment.  This story is fantastic.  I want a Brandon and I feel for Diya and her issues with her family and her issues with Marisol.  I don't like how Marisol has insinuated herself so thoroughly on Brandon's time; she needs to be popped.  I like the kids, but you can tell that Marisol has basically replaced their father with Brandon and that's not fair to him, Diya or Marisol who is trying to sway Brandon to her side at the detriment of Diya and Brandon's relationship.  Diya's father is being really selfish.  Why can't she change her schedule or still do her work from home?  I know he loves seeing her, but he also has to realize that she is 31 and has a life outside of him.  William will always be Diya's daddy and Diya will always be his daughter, but the reins need to be reduced a little bit so that she can breathe and also be willing to introduce Brandon to him.  Sorry this review was so long this was 12 chapters of reviews all in one (lol)



Author's Response:

No need to apologize for the length of your review. I love it.

Lol at Mariosl needing to be popped.  You are so right about the role Brandon plays in the kid's life and how unfair it is to all parties involved.  Brandon can't be everything to everyone, no matter how hard he tries.  Just like William can't pretend Diya is still his little girl.  Not without ruining his relationship with her and her relationship with Brandon.  Question is, will either men accept that?  We shall see...

Thanks for rating and reviewing, dcphoenix1!  So happy to have you along for the ride : )

Reviewer: dcphoenix1 Signed starstarstarstarstar

Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - Tug of War

I have missed this story so much.  Brandon needs to kick Marisol to the curb.  She is shady and wants to break him and Diya up as evidenced by the amount of calls she makes to distract him from his relationship.  I bet that if she knew that he wasn't around Diya, she wouldn't call so much to disrupt him.

Diya's family needs to let her breathe and be able to enjoy her relationship and life.  She also needs to find a new job and not work for her father anymore. As long as Diya's father thinks he has control over her, he thinks he can tell her how to live her life and who to date/marry.  If he wants to try and disown her, she needs to be strong enough to say "that's fine" and keep it moving with Brandon.

Even if Diya and Brandon break up (which I hope never, never happens), she needs to be strong enough to stand on her own and not be intimidated by her parents or her sisters who need to mind their own business.

I can't wait for the next chapter.  This is one of my favorite stories. :-)



Author's Response:

Thanks so much, dcphoenix1!!!  So glad you're enjoying my little tale : )

Marisol and William, and Brandon's and Diya's weakness for them, pose the greatest threat to their relationship.  Question is, can they create the boundaries necessary to preserve what they have?  Will any of the relationships survive it?

We shall see...

Reviewer: dcphoenix1 Signed starstarstarstarstar

Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32 - More Than Words

Brandon's inability to accept that Marisol wants him, is trying to destroy his relationship with Diya and his lack of boundaries with his relationship with Marisol and her children is troubling. Diya has said this in multiple ways and the fact that their communication about this issue is still a problem is not on her, but on Brandon. But, I need Diya to be less passive about these communication issues in her life; Not only with Brandon, but with the rest of her family.



Author's Response:

It is way over due.  But our girl is a bit of a people pleaser, whether she realizes it or not.  On the other hand, Brandon's relationship with Marisol just might provide the straw that breaks the part-time pacifist's back.

Stay tuned...

Thanks, dcphoenix1!
