Jan. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Newark, DE: Author releases The Temptation of Fate, a literary fiction/romance novel that deals with the sensitive issues of troubled teens and young adults.
  Set in Chicago, IL, this book tells the story of naïve teenagers and ignorant young adults who tempt fate with their ignorant, rebellious attitudes. Inadvertently encouraged by parents who do not know the difference between parental love and negligence, these youngsters are never prepared to take responsibilities for their actions because they think the world owes them something.
  In the book, Jessica Weathers: a 17 year-old blue-eyed blonde cannot wait to be free from an assumed parental control. But when fate finally presents her with independence, she is too overwhelmed to handle it. Lakeera Watson, a 16 year-old African American thinks all that glitters is gold. Due to her ignorance and naivety, she gets easily lured into sex by her mother’s boyfriend. Eric Turner, a 23 year-old African American rises up through thick and thin from a notorious Chicago south-side neighborhood to become a health care professional. He however commits some moral and legal blunders that threaten to derail everything for which he has worked. And Mary Miller, Turner’s mother is a strong woman who struggles against all odds and stereotypes to ensure the emancipation of her kids from a ghetto existence. But when her son suddenly appears to be on a downward spiral, she springs into action not only to save him from going to jail but also to avoid his relapse into a life of doldrums.
