Simon opens new doors for both of them and refuses to accept Salima s physical limitations. He turns their world upside down, and the three become friends. Then everything starts to unravel and Blaise can t keep her two worlds separate anymore. A beautiful young anchorwoman is hired at the network; it is no secret that she is being groomed to take Blaise s place. Her career as she has known it is threatened, and her previously well-ordered life feels totally out of control. For the first time, Blaise s life is not perfect, but real.
