Originally published by Dorchester Publishing, June 2008
Tobias "Toby" Holmes was destined for NBA stardom. But when an SUV crashed into his car during his rookie year, his dreams of playing pro-basketball, along with his spine, were shattered. After floundering from one job to another, Toby has finally found his niche in the music business. And when the singing sensation he discovered is pegged to star in a new reality TV show, Toby finally sees light at the end of what has been a very dark tunnel.
Sienna Culpepper has loved her childhood best friend forever, though he has never seen anything other than the girl with skinny legs, cornrows, and mad skills on the basketball court. When Toby returns to their hometown of New Orleans to start his career as a record producer/manager, Sienna is resigned to loving him from afar. However, when Sienna and Toby find themselves working together, feelings arise that has them both rethinking their friendship.
Customer Reviews
Absolutely beautiful!!
This was a really palpable rendition of how friends can become (the best) lovers. Sienna had always loved Toby but he was oblivious to her feelings. He was so caught up in himself that he couldn't look beyond the superficial...in himself nor Sienna.
It took a tragic accident and a past teammate to show Toby what he didn't want to become. And had his accident not happened he would have likely been just like his past teammate. Toby had to prioritize, decide what was really important in life. He had to learn that "some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."
Definitely a must read. Loved it!!
