Her Dumb Honour

Innocent, pretty, kind, and compassionate were the fitting descriptions for Karen Barger. She had been living her perfect life until it had begun to crumble at a time she least expected it. To seek comfort, she returns to Atlanta, her home, and unbeknownst to her, another piece of her world crumbles in New York. Along with her two friends in Atlanta, Karen’s life will be on a roller coaster, and she will experience raw, vulnerable, and intense emotions like never before. Determined to honour the vows of her closest people, Karen will go to the extreme ends to ensure they are happy. However, one by one, dark, buried secrets will be out in the open, leaving Karen over in the head after the realization that those she sacrificed everything for were not worth the efforts. Will she rise beyond the spiral of betrayals and vengeance, or will she succumb to them?

On the Brink

"How do you mean?" Carol asked anxiously. She would have given out anything to get an answer to that question.

"I…I…" Kristin said as she got more frustrated. She started clicking her tongue and once again, tears welled her tear glands. Sensing she was going to have a breakdown, she walked back to sit beside Carol.

"I was sexually assaulted when I was young. I have carried that trauma with me since my childhood," Kristin managed to say between hiccups and for a moment, Carol was lost for words.

"I'm sorry," Carol said and Kristin shook her head and said, "Don't be. It's not your fault,"

"I know but…" Carol said but Kristin interrupted by asking that she listens instead.

"When I was young, we used to live with my uncle, my father's brother. We blacks work twice as hard as you Americans so most often, my parents weren't at home," Kristin started and Carol felt anger rise within her. Wasn't Kristin's statement racist?
