An Extra Ordinary Affair (2008) Baba Evans - An Extra Ordinary Affair

Leaning over the rail of the wooden pier, contemplating suicide, Siobhan’s bad experiences with the men in her life flashed before her. First, her handsome ‘mama’s boy’ caved in to his mother’s dislike for her, terminating their storybook marriage. Dejected by his rejection and pregnant, she fled a world of glamour as a successful model in New York and relocated to Atlanta. There she met Edward, the one man who seemed to understand her pain. When he discovered she was dancing in Atlanta’s exotic clubs and earning money to make their life comfortable, he flipped out, ushered her out of Atlanta in the middle of the night, and took her to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Now, as the wind whipped warm raindrops across her face, she found inner strength enough to vow, “To hell with men. I can live without them.” An angel of mercy heard her cry. Unexpectedly, Richard, a self-made millionaire, saw more than her beautiful face and sexy body. He changed Siobhan’s outlook on life and she captured his heart.

Baba Evans, the urban griot, once again, tells a rewarding story of overcoming diversity to find love and happiness.

Prologue: Thirty minutes had passed with no quick solution. Cheryl knew the police would be knocking on her door any minute and she would be carried out in handcuffs. Panicking, she got off the bed, walked over, and stood on a chair to reach the top shelf of the closet. She removed the box Derrick had dropped off earlier. It was heavier than the small package he normally leaves. She held the box for several minutes. Although she never opened any of the other packages without Chris’s permission, this time however was different, and she was desperate. She stepped down from the chair and hurriedly ripped through the outer wrappings. Her heart pounded and her hands trembled as she fumbled to open it. Inside were bundles of crisp one hundred dollar bills, neatly wrapped with rubber bands. “Oh, my Lord,” she gasped, “I must be looking at $10,000.00 or more.” Strange thoughts raced through her mind. “I know what I’ll do. I’ll take this money and run. Ma and I can leave before the police can find me. We’ll go some place where they will never find us.” Other thoughts occurred, causing her to pause and look around the room and talk aloud. “But how am I going to convince Ma to go along without telling her where the money came from? She placed a hand up to her forehead. “Oh, Lord, if I told her, it would blow her mind.” Finally in desperation, she kneeled down beside the bed and began to pray, “Dear Lord, please help me. Lord, I need an angel, now.”
