description: After her heroin addict mother abandons Toni and her baby brother CJ, their father sets out to find them a new mother. Just when things seem to change for them, CJ dies leaving Toni all alone. A fire burns in her chest that only love can quench. Thinking that she is the reason why everyone that she loves leaves her, she strives to do everything to make the adults around her love her by working hard and being a good little girl. She does find a happy home, and all seems well. She marries her first love and moves with him to New Mexico where her husband, Michael, is in the Air Force. They have a beautiful baby girl. The happiness that she longs for is short lived when Michael begins to have an affair with another woman and she gets pregnant. Toni finds forbidden love also with Leon, but her commitment is to her lover. After the death of Michael's lover, Toni has no choice but to raise her husband's love child. Will he appreciate her unselfish act of love, or will he continue to abuse her? Toni doesn't stay around to see... she returns to New York with the children to start a new life. Will Michael change and join his family, or will Leon be the one who quenches the fire that burns in her heart?
