    About this ebook

    'I knew what was bugging Mum, She had this fear that I would end up like her - young, pregnant and alone. I kept telling her that no in a million years would I ever let that happen to me...'

    Jade Wilson is smart, young black and ambitious. And she's just been given the opportunity of a lifetime - a try-our for the Commonwealth swimming team. Her best and chief cheerleader is her mother Jojo, a successful businesswoman who gave up her own career as a model when she fell pregnant with Jade. Jojo is overprotective so when Jade starts dating Dicey there is hell to pay. Can Jade survive her mother's constant nagging? And what if she were to get pregnant - would she, could she sacrifice her own career?
