Loss after loss is the beginning of August’s story. First the death of his mother, then the imprisonment of his father. Although he faces great losses, his brother Kingston is there to be his guidance and protection. Not only does he have Kingston, he also has the love and wisdom of Granny, the woman who raises him in the absence of his parents. If August thought the loss of his parents was devastating, losing his granny pushed him into a pit so deep, only a miracle could pull him out.

THE POWER OF HEALING

Anastasia “Asia” Anthony has had her own share of childhood struggles. Having dealt with an emotionally absent mother and father, she struggles with her own outlook on healthy love. However, her lack of emotional awareness takes a back seat to the health crisis she faces. With her eyesight slowly fading, Asia’s fears take the passenger seat to her already bumpy ride.

August and Asia meet, and there’s one thing they can agree each feel the spark between them. With August trapped in his own mental pit, he’s running from anything that slightly resembles love. His wall is so high, Asia has no choice but to fall in line where he allows her to.

Friends, parents, and other family members make this journey for August and Asia an interesting one. When it’s all said and done, will August come out redeemed? Also, will Asia learn how to truly tap into her emotions?
