Passion & Pain (Paperback)

Passion & Pain highlights the odyssey of Tim, a middle school teen, who is bitten by the love bug when he spots Saundra Abdul across a crowded...classroom. Despite suffering the "slings and arrows" of negative friends, gangs, and fights, Tim rises above the oppressive energy to befriend Saundra only to lose her when her family moves to another state. From that point on, Tim pledges-through high school, college, the NBA and a religious conversion-that he will someday meet Saundra again and marry her. Passion & Pain shares this quirky adventure leading the reader to the final question: Will Tim meet and marry Saundra, or will it all roll back down on him...like the stone of Sisyphus...to his failure ?
