Succeeding Against All Odds Shawntrell Hudson

Have you ever been in love to the point that it hurt? I'm talking that mental, physical, emotional pain? When loving him destroys you completely to where you can't even recognize yourself? That was reality for Skylar. She had devoted her life to love, only to be left standing lonely in the end. Losing her mother at an early age taught Skylar that nothing lasts forever, and to cherish those we love while we have the chance. In doing so, Skylar left herself open to be hurt. Longing to feel loved, she fell victim to failed relationship after failed relationship. Upon meeting Demarcus, she thought her love life had taken a turn for the better. Demarcus was every woman's dream. He was tall, dark, handsome, and wealthy. It was something about him that made the women go crazy, including Skylar. She thought she had finally found her prince charming, but she soon came to realize everything that glitters isn't gold. Demarcus has a secret, and when it comes to light, it drives a wedge between the doting couple. Still, Skylar fights to stand strong beside her man. But what happens when fighting is no longer enough? When the good no longer outweighs the bad, and the pain just becomes too much to handle? Skylar thought she could deal with the baggage that comes with loving a man like Demarcus, but after being pushed to her limit she is faced with the ultimate decision. They say love conquers all, and Skylar could feel it swallowing her whole. In the end Skylar must decide if love is really worth losing herself for.
