Sometimes Love Resides.
Above the Law
What happens when a prominent and successful Chicago Judge falls in love with
her driver?
Angela Jenkins decided as a child that she would become a lawyer. Fighting injustices
perpetrated against those who could not or would not fight for themselves ran
like passion through her veins. Growing up, Angela was taught that putting God
first in her life, respecting the rights and choices of others, and working
hard, were the most important things a person should strive for.
While in pursuit of her law degree, Angela meets Rhonda, Theresa, and Darlene
who are there reaching for the same goals. Over the next two decades, an unbreakable
bond forms and friends become sisters.
Angela finds the more successful she becomes, the more she begins to lose her
connection with God and starts conforming more to the world, than to the word
of God.
When love enters her heart, she must decide if having a relationship is more
important than what others, including her friends, have to say. Angela is forced
to look at what's important in her life and has to choose between allowing others
to shape who she is or conforming to what God wants her to be.
EXCERPT
Sitting there in the car was almost more than Angie could have ever dreamed.
It felt so right. Somehow, she had been transported to a time and place that
until now, she only thought of late at night as she slept. She watched Tony
sitting there and wished the moment would last a lot longer.
As they sat looking up at the magnificent night sky and talking in the back
of the car, Angie tried to carefully form her words so she would not offend
him. "Tony, you know I respect you very much. I admire your courage to
be your own man and do what feels right for your life. But."
Tony didn't seem to hear her as he interrupted her words with, "Your honor,
I must tell you, you are the most stunning woman I have ever been out with.
I mean, you are beautiful everyday, but I have never been out with a woman who
is as graceful and elegant as you are tonight."
As she heard these words, Angie didn't have the heart to tell him not to tell
anyone what he did for a living. She recognized it was she who should be honored
to be with him. "I'm sorry; I interrupted you. What were you saying?"
"Nothing Tony, nothing at all." The remainder of the ride, they rode
in silence. Each deep in their own thoughts.
