Darkness Before Dawn

In her senior year of high school, Keisha Montgomery, was still distraught by the suicide of her ex-boyfriend, Andy Jackson. Keisha was having a difficult time moving on with her life until she meets twenty three year old, Jonathan Hathaway, the new track coach and principal’s son.
Jonathan is tall, dark and handsome and has his golden eyes set on Keisha Montgomery. Keisha is swept off her feet by Jonathan and is elated to have someone treat her like a woman, not a girl. Jonathan is the answer to Keisha’s dreams and a cure to all her nightmares.
Unexpectedly, this enthralling relationship takes a turn for the worst, and Keisha is once again thrust into darkness. She is physically and mentally abused by Jonathan and eventually finds her way out.
Keisha struggles to put her life back in perspective and is able to find her way back into the light.


Keisha is a African American girl who wants to someday be a track star. In her life many terrible things has happened to her but she has let them go and get on with her life. Jonathan is principle Hathaway's son who is a good looking young man. He has abused many people in his life and is not proud of it at all.
