Autumn's Child tells the desperate story of Layla, as a young and
naive twelve year-old girl. Over ten critical years, her life
quickly changes like the colors of the trees in autumn. The
accidental death of her parents forces her to abandon her
religious, middle-class lifestyle. She moves to the inner city of
Chicago with her grandmother and aunt, her only living relatives.
Layla tries to approach her new life with optimism, but the
perfections of her past life haunt her tormented journey. After
coming to grips with the reality over the years that her only aunt
despises her, Layla soon discovers that she may secretly hold the
keys to helping her aunt's diminishing health in her hands. Layla's
faith and sanity are continuously tested as she matures throughout
each season of her life. She stumbles through her newfound reality
while learning how to play the distinct set of cards she's been
dealt. Layla's neighbor and best friend, Shay, helps guide her from
adolescence into adulthood. Autumn's Child chronicles a life on the
opposite side of the coin; where friendships grow out of tragedy,
and the pressure of a marginalized life weighs heavily on pure
souls. Layla must make many compromising decisions, all while
perpetually asking the reader, What would you do? View Autumn's
