    About this audiobook

    Donna Hayes had fortitude and smarts. At the top of her game, thriving in New York City no less, her career was soaring on Wall Street, and she was starring in her own one woman show off Broadway. To be scammed by a man she had met on a dating app shocked and shamed her. In Jamaica as a child, death had come for Hayes three times. Each time she survived it.



    Every day she dreamed of going to America and joining her family. When she was fourteen, her mother sent for her.



    Donna's elation was soon offset by the challenges of her new life.



    From her mother's strict church to an early marriage, single motherhood, and a second disastrous and abusive marriage, when Donna escaped, she vowed to never again subject herself to relationships and people who harmed her.



    Then Hayes met the man of her dreams on a dating site. Before long, he proposed and tattooed her initials in large bold letters across his chest. But $177,000 later, it all fell apart. Hayes learned that she had been a target from the beginning. Suddenly, her financial independence was at risk.



    This is the story of how that woman rose yet again to find her power, making the scam the last run along the broken roads of her past.

      Jun 18, 2016

      TO MANY AMERICANS, THE END OF SLAVERY is synonymous with Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. But that’s hardly the whole story. And it discounts the agency of thousands of slaves who voted with their feet for freedom.
