Abriana & Josephine: A Love Story

Love is the most precious gift anyone can give or receive ~

Abriana and Josephine found each other by a chance encounter. They are polar opposites in many respects; both are intelligent but come from entirely dissimilar environments and upbringings.

Josephine is from Bogota, New Jersey, a small suburban town outside of New York City. She is the product of an unhappy marriage and a sexually abusive father. While academically gifted, she has never had the opportunity to go to college and has settled into a menial sales job at Macy's, Herald Square, in New York City. She has, at 26, resigned herself to her plight, but continuously struggles to improve her station in life.

Abriana has experimented on both sides of the gender issue, and, at age 28, she has lived a life of privilege. Her father is a former US Senator from Massachusetts. Her parents live in Hyannis, Cape Cod, where they both spend the preponderance of their time in philanthropic pursuits. They were rarely available to give her a normal childhood. In truth, Abriana was reared by Au Pairs, nannies and house servants. She did her undergraduate work at Wellesley College and received her Juris Doctorate at Yale. Abriana now works for a prestigious law firm in New York City.

This is their story of love, life, social biases, irrational prejudices, and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.
