She squints as tears run from her eyes because of the pain that is generated in her body when she moves. It has been a very difficult birth for her small frame. Her heart is racing. Soon she will have to move to sit upright in a straight back chair. It has been eight days, and she is still in pain and bleeding to the point of weakness. Soon the local doctor will make a house visit to check the baby and her mother, who will pose as the birth mother to keep the secret, no, to keep the lie about the baby from others. Lucille, her mother, is a big-boned heavy woman who can hide a pregnancy well. Netta is a large girl for her age of twelve. Lucille made her wear large dresses and binded her belly to keep the growth of her womb from showing.

Born in Mississippi, Mae Basha', a circuit provision engineer by day and a talented writer by night, grew up in Santa Monica, California. As a young girl, she would write make-believe stories of her imagination. Mature early in life, beyond her age, she would isolate herself in thought while others her age would play. Mae feels it is time to free her imagination and share it with the world in this, her first novel.
