Date: 07 19, 2013
Leah found out accidentally that the woman she had thought of as her sister was actually her mother and that she had died giving birth to Leah. Leah was the product of rape by the employer of her grandmother, whom she thought was her mother. Confusing? Leah leaves Arkansas to travel to New York to confront the man who raped her mother all those years ago. She uses a another man to gain access to a party for the man she wants to confront. While at this party, she finds out the man she has been waiting on is actually his son with the same name. The father had died 3 years earlier.The son spilled Bourbon on her accidentally. While upstairs in a borrowed robe, waiting for her clothes to dry, her obnoxious date shows up and tries to force himself on her. She manages to get away and lock herself in a room where she falls asleep and wakes up in the arms of the son. He thought she was his birthday present. When he sees the bruises that weren't on her the night before, he demands to know what happened. She reluctantly explains. But knowing that James (the son) is attracted to her, she discourages him thinking that he is her half-brother, and sees no point in mentioning the relationship since the father is gone. It would serve no purpose.During the night it snowed and buried them in. While waiting to be dug out and phone service to be restored, James mentions that he is glad he is not Sr.'s son by blood. He was adopted. Knowing this, the relationship quickly escalates between Leah and James. When she comes across his birth certificate, it lists Sr. as the father. Believing she has been lied to and now has committed incest, she leaves without explaining why.James was lied to and been made a fool of by his first and only wife. James will never allow another woman to do that to him again. He demanded honesty from Leah about why she had come in the first place. She refused to explain..Can two stubborn people get past their issues and find a way to talk to one another? A unique love story.
