This Ain't No Hearts and Flowers Love Story
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Which is worse: to love your mother fiercely and lose her? Or never have a mother at all? Obie and Princess never debated this; being equally motherless forever binds them. Obie was a street child, a junkie's son; Princess was raised in splendor on Park Avenue. When she's three Obie is her babysitter; at thirteen Obie's her best friend and confidant. At eighteen "Cess" dreams of being an R&B diva and Obie, whose "Rags-to-Riches" transformation into a music video superstar/director captured America's attention, knows just how to make that dream come true. Inevitably Obie and Princess fall head-over-heels in love along the path to stardom. Social-class differences, skin color drama/complexes, a stalking ex-boyfriend and severe depression strain their budding relationship, but when Obie's abandonment issues crash head first into Cess's need for emotional detachment, the fireworks really begin. Then the question becomes: Can a motherless child ever truly open his or her heart enough to love someone else?
