When the lines are drawn, will you risk your life to cross them for love?

In the Summer of 1988, tragedy hits home for Charlene Jacobson and her father when her little brother is killed playing a game of basketball in their Detroit housing projects.  She soon finds herself living in the small rural town of Millersville, Georgia, with her estranged grandmother. Millersville is a place where time stands still and the racial divide is as prevalent as the 1950s.  Secrets, lies, and betrayal lurk in every corner. Yet, through it all she finds solace in the arms of Ryan Quinn, a white senior track star and the son of the town Sherriff.  

Will their love cross the finish line?  

EDIT:  Crossing the Finish line has been removed from this site and a revised version with added new content has been published on Amazon Kindle Vella (as of November 2022) under the penname, Shelly B Williams. To those of you who have left reviews, added me to your Favorite Authors and Story Alerts, and helped to make CTFL one of the Top Ten Most Favorited Stories on Valent Chamber, I trully appreciate all the support you have shown me over the years. I hope you will continue to support me as I begin the next phase of my journey as a published author. I couldn't  have done this without you. 

Much Love!

Title: Crossing the Finish Line

Ryan should forgive Wes but the relationship will never be the same.  I think that living in California will good for Ryan both he and Charlene could go scholl there. I feel so bad for him how could Wes sleep with ho knowing the drama that she put Ryan through.  I do hope that he used a condom as she ain't sanitary!!  



Author's Response:

LMBO!! You are too funny.

WHere did Ryan go? I really don't like James, he's an ahole. Not liking Karen too much either, trying to make James jealous by dancing with Eric! James doesn't want you, on top of that he belittles you! Karen you are too smart to be so stupid! More please!



Author's Response:

Yes, poor, love struck Karen is blinded by infatuation.  Will see how thing play out between her and Eric.  Thanks for reading and your continued support.

Alex took advantage of Chad ans he's abusive to boot. I don't like Alex have him shot in drug bust. Really don't like Danny he's an racist ahole who should be beaten. Ryan admitted his feelings to Charli but I don't see doing the same anytime soon. Charli, please stick close to people because if Alex catches you alone that is bad newa. I have missed this story!

My opinion is now changing of Wes, but I have never liked Danny he just needs to die or something.  I can't wait for Ryan to confront his father the low cheating mf, still sexing his wife and sexing up a sister with babies just months apart.  This is just keeps getting better!!!

So Ryan finally admitted his feelings for Charlene.  Now she's acting like a punk and trying to run from his and her own feelings.  I am so glad to see this update as I have missed this story.

I have no respect for MIA how can you knowingly sleep with s married man and have his baby? She purposely went to the shop knowing that Ryan would be there, but what did the ho hope to accomplish? Mark Quinn is an ass and feel so bad for his family they don't deserve his deceit. I want him found out and to lose the election.

Title: Crossing the Finish Line

How did Ryan leave her bedroom?  Did climb out of the window?  I am not happy with Charli desrepecting her grandmothers house by having sex.  I think that you should have written the scene when Ryan got home. Or maybe showing what happened when they both got to school. Still love this story but please don't make us wait as long for the next update.



Author's Response:

Hi pmgayles:

 

Thanks so much for your honest critique. I found it very helpful. I know, Ryan and Charlene need their behinds whooped for doing it in Nana's house (naughty teenage hormones--what can you do. LOL ).

Funny personal story: I was a grown woman, married with two kids before I finally admitted to my mother that my husband and I snuck and had sex in her house when  we were still in high school while she was asleep in the next room. The whole time I was terrified she'd wake up and hear us. I can't believe she still got pissed at me even though it happened over twenty years ago.- LOL. I told her, at least he married me and were still together. She wasn't amused.

Sorry if didn't make it clear, Ryan snuck out the way he came through Charlene's bedroom door then crept back downstairs to the backdoor.

Charlene should have kicked Christi's ass no use holding in all that anger.  Christi Ryan doesn't want your skank ass anymore than he wants a STD.  Charlene should tell Ryan what happened and introduce to her grandmother so that she can be prepared for what happens when Ryan doesn't take Christi's ho ass back.  I really hate Christi, she makes my teeth itch!!  Kill her!!  Have run over by bus, mauled by a wild animal, stabbed in failed robbery attempt.  Anyone those works for me.

I am so glad that Charlie told Ryan what that ho Christi had threatened to do.  That is he loves her enough to fight for her unlike his adulterous father. Loving this story!  More please!

Mark Quinn is hypocritical, sanctimonious windbag!  You cheated on your wife and had another child with a black woman but Ryan can't date Charlie.  What did Mark and  Russell for ghost about? Did Mark want Vivian?  I really want Eileen to find out about Mark's infidelity and divorce him. I want him to loose his bid to be reelected Sheriff!  Can't wait to read about Charlie's dad's reaction. This update was worth the wait!

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter Six

I really wanted Cam to beat Erin down just for being the little ho that she is, why oh why did you have Phillip stop her.  So Cam felt that he put other people ahead of her.  She was jealous of his supposed relationship with Erin.  Erin tried but I don't think that anything happened between the two of them.  At least I hope not.  Great chapter  Looking forward to finding out what else Phillip did to break Cam's heart.



Author's Response:

Erin definitely deserved a beat down for that stunt but what goes around comes around, right? Cameron and Philip's relationship is much more complex than what they allow people to see on the surface.  Soon more will be revealed.  Thanks for the review and for investing in this story.  I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for giving us an update on this story, I just Cameron  and Phillip!!  The *itch Erin needs to get run over by a bus!!  I give this update two thumbs up for Cameron finally telling Phillip why she was so hurt.  Although he had to force the conversation.  I am going to reread the whole story again, as I love it so.  Please don't make us wait as long for the next update.



Author's Response:

Hi pmgayles! Thank you so much for not being upset with the extended amount of time that passes between updates! Writing is tough for me (finding time and maintaining interest) but I love it so much.  I'm glad you like Cam and Philip and that you're enjoying the story! Thanks so much for reading, rating and the review! It brought a smile to my face! :)

Cami thinks that Phillip got Erin pregnant while he was sexing her up?  Is that why she stopped speaking to Phillip?  I love this story and I love all of male characters they are hot!!!!  Please give my HEA, Cameron forgive Phillip the man is still in love with you!!1



Author's Response:

She didn’t believe in love at first sight, yet when she met Fabian she believed in anything. Even the belief of her death at the hands of her lover…

Title: Con Te Partiro

I am that he followed her, so that she won't die.  Her father has lost his mind, Meka had to grow up fast because both of her parents left her.  Did her just get crazy with that last baby or was she always special?  I am a lttle confused who was the dude in prologue?  Is Fabian the same guy?  Please update soon!!!

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Did any of the words that Joey spoke to her about Fabian register?  The man is bad news girl so why can't she see that? Just because the man is beautiful doesn't make inherently good. There is a saying, "All that glitters isn't gold"!  All we don't know much about Fabian yet but what we do know isn't great or positive. Slow your roll, Meka!  Dumb child!

Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4

Meka's first clue that Fabian wasn't a good man should have Joey's reaction to his presence. Her second clue should have been Joey calling her Linda. Meka is  young and dumb.
