Ten years ago, Juliet Carlton escaped from a race among fallen angels that could possibly gain her spot as an archangel back. She had ditched her second-chance of returning back to heaven, and was living among the world of regular non-magical human beings, Razon, as a normal high-school teenage girl.
Now, a new race has begun. One angel among twelve was ready to prove that they are ready to serve heaven again. Juliet was captivated and she couldn't escape. She was forced to be put into the race, as one of the competitors among twelve other youthful fallen angels who had marked her as their first opponent to hunt down.
Juliet has two options now: fight for survival or die with her faithful partner, Damien.
In this memoir, the author explores questions of race, adoption, and identity, not as the professor of cultural studies she became, but as the Black child of German settlers in Guatemala. Her journey into the mystery that shrouded her early years begins in the US when she realized it was not just her foreign accent that alienated her from Blacks. Under layers of privilege (private schools, international travel, the life of a fashion model and actress in Europe) she discovered that her most important story is one of disinheritance. The author’s determination to find out who her parents really were and why she was taken from them, tests the love of her White husband and their son, and returns her to Guatemala to find a family that kept her memory alive as legend. In the end, she learns truths about the women who were her mothers, and the disrespect committed long ago against a birthmother and her child in the name of love.
