Pete and Mary find their humdrum life interrupted dramatically by a spirit from the past. All on the surface appears banal and excruciatingly normal, but this ordinary couple must grapple with questions that otherwise they would have conveniently and blithely ignored. The title suggests one of the key questions that Mary and Pete explore. How can an evening-a measure of time-co-exist with eternity? How does time-a measure of past, present and future co-exist with an everlasting now, an eternity? Other questions abound once their comfortable but banal routine explodes with the arrival of these uninvited guests. Do animals possess a spirit? What happens when animals school humans?

This is a Novel based on true facts. It was written because I had no voice during the times I wanted and needed to be heard. I prayed and pondered in my mind on how I could let my voice be heard, to be a help to my family and my children. Friends turned their backs on us and people began to have stares and whispers about my family. My son Demetrius Jr was charged and convicted in a murder case that also implicated Demetrius Jr's father Demetrius Sr. These novels I have written speak our truth on how we survived troubled times when we had no way but made a way out of no way by the goodness and gracefulness from my "LORD" and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. I therly go into details in depth about each one of my children in these novels on how their lives were turned upside down in the blink of an eye. We were thrown out to society to be the most hated family in all the surrounding areas we lived in and lived nearby. We survived deaths threats and actions that were brought to our home and reported to the local police department with no action taken on their part. I am a mother of 5 children and each one of them was impacted by racism and hate in many ways that was reported with no action taken. I wanted to write these novels for my children because I felt as if I couldn't protect them when they needed to be protected. These novels speak about how corrupted and disloyal the system is to African American people. These Novels are based on what its like being born black outlining how the black alpha males in my family had a strike against them when they were born into this world as a black male. In these readings I detail the differences made when you're a black male and black female born into a society that controls the maintenance of your life. When I say maintenance, I mean the fact of how you are stereo typed be how you wear your hair, how you talk, how you walk, how you are restricted from wearing certain colors, your body language and your eye contact that's displayed while in front of certain white officials. The fact that as a black male when your brought up against charges with the law you are automatically guilty, and you must prove your innocence. When the law clearly states that you are innocent, and you must be proven guilty well that sounds good but that's not how it is as a black male or female. Racism is live and well in this country we live in called America home of the free.
