About the Book
Balancing Destiny is a fresh, upbeat novel which explores a young woman’s search for identity after her perfect world is revealed to be nothing more than a facade. Destiny Daniels is a young woman with talent, ambition, and a perfectly planned life. Set to start her journalism career at a top newspaper, Destiny is devastated by the contents of a forgotten envelope and her ascending star is suddenly derailed. Her plans change and along the way she meets Tony Gianelli, a writer at Spark Magazine, who falls in love with her. Torn over his affection, Destiny is leery about Tony because an interracial office romance is the last thing that she needs. Eventually, the journey to find her identity reveals another shocking bombshell that nearly pushes her to the brink of insanity. Can Destiny balance her world again before it is too late? Will Destiny’s journey to find self-identity result in her self-destruction? In Balancing Destiny—a beautifully crafted literary exploration of love and hate, race and bigotry—follow Destiny as she experiences a series of life-altering events and ends up finding out more than she ever bargained for about herself.
