About the Book...

Taylor Thomas, at 27, treads troubled waters but holds onto a vision of rising above poverty and adversity. Youthful decisions, fostered by life in an impoverished area of south Philadelphia, have kept her on the brink of despair. But intelligence and ambition isn’t easily stifled. Taylor wants more out of life. Taylor works as a nurse’s aide to cover her expenses and she doesn’t run away from a challenge. Rosie MacIntosh, an elderly client, expects more than Taylor has to give. But together, a journey of self-awareness begins. With gentle, subtle determination, Rosie chips away at Taylor's tough facade. Slowly Taylor realizes her problems are all about choices. Rosie helps rebuild the trust Taylor lost in her childhood.
