CAN A MOTHER'S PAST AFFECT HER DAUGHTER'S FUTURE? In this compelling novel by author's Danette Maroney & Monique Maroney, a mother's undying devotion to her children becomes the one thing that put her daughter's life at risk of following in her footsteps. Katherine's life as a teen run-away taught her early that the streets befriend no one. When Katherine is blessed with her second child, she promises to shield her daughter, Takiyah, from the life she lived. Takiyah, now a young woman, must struggle to survive the future designed by destiny. The More Things Change... shows readers how sometimes it's easier to accept your past as a lesson learned than run away and find that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
