But when she becomes the home nurse for an elderly man who is Abbottsville’s wealthiest resident, she sees an opportunity to say sayonara to her trailer-park days once and for all.

In Mae's life, at the heart of her story, she had to learn through her relationships after finding out multiple times that Billy was cheating on her even through high school. There were times she wanted to let go of the relationship, but deep down in heart, she felt she was losing something very special, not knowing that Billy had his eyes on women, drugs, and the different places. He chose to find love in the streets. After giving her life to Christ, Mae ended up marrying Billy because of her pastor telling her that since she gave her life to Christ, she and Billy had to get married, even when she knew that he really wasn't the man for her. She took in an eight-year-old child in her house and put her under her wings as goddaughter. When the girl was fifteen, Mae's husband slept with the girl, and Mae knew then it was a wrap. After Mae shared her hurt and pain with her friend Sandra, she began telling Mae to put him and her out. Instead of putting them out, her husband pushed her into the hands of another man. After falling in love with Cliff, she just knew that he was everything to her as well. She ended up letting him go as well because he was the type of guy who was trying to destroy her life through sex and drugs. In this society, you can never know who to trust in a relationship; that is why it's so important to pray before battling with something unnecessary that will cause danger to your mind, body, and soul. In the memory of our loved ones: My two grandmothers Mary Jane Wardsworth and Lilly Barrett, second mother Mrs. Shirley Ann Miller, my two brothers John Douglas Barrett and Isaiah Cleveland Junior Barrett.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A bestselling dystopian novel that tackles surveillance, privacy and the frightening intrusions of technology in our lives—a “compulsively readable parable for the 21st century” (Vanity Fair). When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world’s most powerful internet company, she feels she’s been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company’s modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO. Mae can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world—even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.
