In this gripping memoir, Hayes recounts the story of her impoverished Jamaican childhood and eventual immigration to the United States at 14.

Yet at the peak of her triumph, she is scammed and robbed of her life's savings by the "love of her life" who she meets on an online dating site. The mastermind was not the usual faceless online fraudster, hiding behind a computer screen in a faraway land; rather, he slept beside her for a year and a half, pretending to be the love of her life.This is the story of how that woman rose yet again to find her power, making the scam and her choice of such a man the last run along the broken roads of her past.
