First sentence: I watched without blinking as they lowered the casket into the six-foot deep hole.  I could feel the wind blowing against my eyelids, but I was in such shock that if I dared to close my eyes, I'd be afraid that I'd never want them to open again.  

The woman lying in the casket could have been me.  It could have been my family and friends standing around my closed casket on this warm September day drying their tears and saying their fairwells, instead of Sophie's.  I couldn't stop thinking of the shoulda'-coulda'-woulda's.  I should have helped her; I could have helped her; and if I could go back in time, I would have helped her.....
Description: Apology From One Sista' To Another is the story of two woman, Rita and Sophie, who make the mistake of believing in "love at first sight", both falling for a man (Brian) based only on his physical appearance without taking the time to get to know his inner person.

When Rita meets Brian, she hopes to have finally met the man of her dreams; however, in the long run she finds out that he's actually a nightmare.  But, to avoid the feeling of lonlieness, she just accepts all of Brian's bad habits, including his abusive behavior and his habit of draining her bank account.

Sophie, a bitter divorcee, believes that she has also met the man of her dreams (Brian), but there is an obstacle blocking her happpiness - his girlfriend, Rita.  She is aware that Brian is in a relationship and, notwithstanding that knowledge, she does everything in her power to sabotage their relati0nship so that she can have him all to herself, ignorant of Brian's scheming lifestyle.

While Brian is a VERY handsome man, he is also an unemployed and abusive man who prey on "career" women for the sole purpose of swindling them out of their money in order to accomplish his goal of launching his very own construction company.

When Rita, Sophie and Brian cross paths, all hell breaks loose, and one of the relationshps escalates to a level which culminates in a final, and tragic, ending...
