I.C. Miller prepares for his dream come true...college bound by way of a scholarship...I.C. has the world by its tail.  He leaves behind bad memories of his father murdering his mother, his girlfriend and news of her pregnancy in search of hope.  En route to his new home...his dream becomes one of the most harrowing nightmares he could ever pray to never experience.  Tamara, broken hearted and disillusioned by I.C.'s abandonment continues with her life as a young mother.  She later travels to Atlanta in search of a job opportunity and falls into the treacherous clutches of trouble with a capital T.  Past childhood associate Kanisha Williams just happens to come to Tamara's rescue in the nick of time...or is she there with another ulterior motive.  Is this really an instance of good luck or will it prove to be more costly than what Tamara originally expects?Mr. Sullivan has penned a very disturbing yet riveting story that captivates you from the introduction of the main characters to the last character.  Innocent proves to be a very exciting and thrilling read.  The journey traveled with Innocent is one that is solemn, sobering, hopeful, fearful, disturbing yet is so enchanting that you race to the conclusion.  An emotionally charged novel that drains you, and causes you to experience heart palpitations as well as angers you beyond reproach at the atrocities illustrated in this century.  He does a wonderful job of launching the lives of a young couple and the people that they encounter in a horrific passage from childhood to the rough terrain surrounding adulthood. Life left me breathless many years ago, and once again Mr. Sullivan has demonstrated his dazzling literary skills with Innocent.  Words can not begin to summarize the depth or the intensity that personifies Mr. Sullivan's latest endeavor.  Magnificente!
