Separated from his mother as a child he grew up alone and armed only with his talent he was transported from Africa to New York City where fame and glittering fortune beckoned. His future seemed assured and his star was on the ascendant with the famous Man Records behind him. But Chrislan Treasure was to discover that fame was not all that he needed. A chance meeting with a girl would set in motion a series of events that would lead to an unexpected conclusion. As the story moves to Paris the first signs that Chrislan’s world might not let him be the man he needs to be. Reunited with his mother he makes a decision. Can love really conquer all? This story will offer you surprising answers.
