Smooth Talking Stranger: A Novel

In this contemporary novel, the protagonist is forced to leave her life in Houston to return to her family in Houston after her sister abandons her newborn baby.

The narrative delves into the challenges of unexpected motherhood, the search for identity, and the courage required to make life-altering choices, all set against the backdrop of a Southern city. more
