From the innocence of the fifties to the tempestuous sixties and beyond, Wright conveys candid accounts of love, lust, loyalty, betrayal, and hope that will keep you engaged and entertained. Reflections in a Faded Mirror - Viola , Vinie, and Stanley will lure you from Boggy Creek to Points North and back. The Truth about Michael and Jaylan - True romance is hard to find and even harder to sustain, but Michael and Jaylan escort you to another dimension of love, with Will who comes along for the bumpy ride . The Gospel Deliverance Tent Revival - "Fornication!!" Prophet Malachi Jenkins preaches , while Miss Sophie, James, Jr. and Coleman shout a few amens from the camp meeting tent. Miss Lucy's Pie - Edna Mae and Miss Lucy had never been close. But certain situations will bring folks together quicker than a wedding and death. The Inheritance - Young Myra Jones went to live with Deacon and Mrs. Bentley, but they were not the family she longed for, or needed. When Love Happens - Mr. Wallace and Hazel were married for forty three years when she woke up one morning just plain out of love.   The Arrangement - Lil' Jimmy, Jed, Jimmy, Jr. and Lizabeth go hunting on that chilly 5th Sunday morning and wind up with more on their plate than rabbit and koon.
