Kalayla is a bi-racial girl determined to teach adults a thing or two. Her mother, Maureen, has been disowned by her Irish family and works as a waitress. Their Italian landlady, a widow, is retiring as CEO of her family's business.\u003cbr\u003eTheir deepening friendships provide a scaffolding of support and show the transformative power of connection as they each risk new adventures with laughter and courage. Their stories touch on adolescence, single motherhood, self-discovery, race, and marital abuse with honesty, humor, and compassion. This is a story of forgiveness and love.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Personal Disclosure\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I had a first-time experience that was startling and unsettling while I was writing \u003ci\u003eKalayla, \u003c\/i\u003ethe first edition of \u003ci\u003eKalaya Unraveling Tangles\u003c\/i\u003e.
