About this ebook

Greg O’Brien was a third-year college student at Clark Atlanta University, a HBCU located in the historic heart of Atlanta, Georgia. He was experiencing some of the typical growing pains that young men his age go through―pressure from work as well as school, and he had been physically and emotionally drained from a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart, Rosalyn Coleman. He decided that they needed a break from each other so that he could regroup, but she wanted a clean split because she felt he didn’t have enough time for her and suspected that there was another woman in the picture. However, Greg had remained faithful despite her accusations, and it ultimately turned out that she was seeing another guy behind his back.

He was heartbroken when he found out about Rosalyn’s indiscretion but found solace with his friend and classmate, Jennifer Mason, after the biggest party of the year and end of the spring semester. The Gifted is an African American fiction drama full of colorful characters sure to pique reader interest.
