Nothing was out of reach for Kimberley Denise Blount. She excelled in her academics, her grade point average emphasized that valid point. From plagues to certificates, if there was an award to achieve, Kimberley had it. God had graced her with the ability to surpass the average. That was an undeniable fact. If only her relationships had the same degree of success. Brought up in a home with two loving parents, as an only child, she never wanted for much of anything. And as a daddy's girl, she was sure to get what she wanted one way or the other. Perhaps this was the one thing that prevented her from maintaining healthy relationships throughout her life. Throughout grade school and even while she was in college, Kimberley stood her ground, even if it meant losing her best friend. A sudden life tragedy crushed her faith in God and expanded the wedge between she and her mother, Marye Blount. Although she tried, her efforts were pointless because she was never able to cross the threshold. What would it take for Kimberley to see that if she were to only lay her pride and selfish ways aside, that she was well deserving of giving and receiving love? How much would she have to endure to realize that the hidden desire of her heart wasn't a selfish one?
