Things Fall Together Joy Outlaw

The best laid plans of young, naive, overzealous women often go awry. Jane Luck's plan to live life in the city as a fearless, free-spirited designer has instead left her homeless and buried under a mountain of student debt. Worse than that is the fact that she's still struggling to process the loss of her two flames: her beguiling mentor, Jack, who she killed in self-defense, and Ali, the one who stood by her side when it all happened. All she wants is a safe place to land and recover. But she has nothing close to rest when she becomes the target of a band of vengeful, Liberian ex-warlords who see her as a key to her boyfriend's riches. She's swept up in another unexpected adventure, this time in the land where her ancestors once attempted to create a haven of peace for Black Americans on African soil. This, yet another trial by fire, strips her of a few more layers of fear and self-doubt. And just when she thinks her life is truly falling apart, some very important things may be falling into place.
