Author's excerpt from the novel: Plume watched in fascination as the air above the temple once again started to crackle with energy. His heart was racing hard but his face was calm. The crackling grew louder and Plume smelt the air changing as electricity charged the area around them. There was a whoosh of air being expelled above the temple and a massive black dragon emerged at great speed. Plume had to turn quickly to watch this creature bank sharply and begin gliding back towards him. Its eyes were fixated on the rabbit. More whooshing noises and yet more dragons filled the sky.

Tabitha Walker is a black woman with a plan to “have it all.” At 33 years old, the checklist for the life of her dreams is well underway. Education? Check. Good job? Check. Down payment for a nice house? Check. Dating marriage material? Check, check, and check. With a coveted position as a local news reporter, a "paper-perfect" boyfriend, and even a standing Saturday morning appointment with a reliable hairstylist, everything seems to be falling into place. Then Tabby receives an unexpected diagnosis that brings her picture-perfect life crashing down, jeopardizing the keystone she took for granted: having children. With her dreams at risk of falling through the cracks of her checklist, suddenly she is faced with an impossible choice between her career, her dream home, and a family of her own. With the help of her best friends, the irreverent and headstrong Laila and Alexis, the mom jeans-wearing former "Sexy Lexi," and the generational wisdom of her grandmother and the nonagenarian firebrand Ms. Gretchen, Tabby explores the reaches of modern medicine and tests the limits of her relationships, hoping to salvage the future she always dreamed of.
