Book 2 of Queen Series

The fall semester begins amid widespread civil unrest across the country. Rani is teaching an honorary course in American Literary Tradition, opening with a discussion on civil rights. The students, stirred by issues of race and social class, ignite a dialogue that culminates in a campus protest at Edington University. This outcome is precisely what the famed activist had envisioned.

At the same time, Rani’s unconventional marriage to another woman faces mounting challenges during the peak of her writing career. Jasmine, a fine arts major entering her junior year, begins to reassess her life as new opportunities emerge. Micah’s sudden return to the United States complicates matters further between him and Rani. The young professor seeks to build a relationship with the child he fathered for the couple, but life takes an unexpected turn when he reconnects with a childhood friend.

Nadia Simpson, now a prominent art dealer living in the capital, has long harbored feelings for Micah despite his unwavering commitment to Rani. A tender romance begins to blossom between them, though not without a significant setback.

Logline: During a global pandemic and a wave of national unrest, a young professor returns home to build a bond with the child he fathered for a lesbian couple—only to find that love, loyalty, and identity are more complicated than he imagined.

Pastor Regina Sloan of Better Days Ministries endures internal conflict when an old flame makes an unexpected appearance at their son’s wedding. The future of her ministry hangs in the balance as she gradually comes to terms with her identity as a woman. Dr. Edna Brooks, the other half of Better Days, has been at the forefront of Sloan’s life for many years. She demands a "moral commitment" from Regina. The essence of their friendship is brought into question when they decide to undergo the ancient rite of adelphopoiia. A new billboard for Better Days places the founders under public scrutiny. Sloan has optioned to use a photo commemorating their “sister-making” ceremony. Many view the advertisement as a platform for the couple to come out. Sloan, however, insists that theirs is a “bond of faith and not nature”.  But there are bigger fish to fry at the Eno Women’s Clinic headed by Dr. Brooks. Nadia Simpson is desperate to have a child and turns to an African spiritualist to resolve her problem. Brooks is concerned, having ministered to the young woman unsuccessfully. Matters take a turn for the worse when Nadia falls gravely ill. Meanwhile, Antonia is adjusting to her new life with Reginald, the minister’s son.
