Destiny Waiting

It had been a long time since Kim-Ly Brown visited her childhood home in Richmond, Virginia. All her friends were happily married with children. The only pleasures in her life were her budding career as a pediatric nurse and her beloved three-legged yorkie, Paxil. She agreed to come home to celebrate her father's birthday when she was approached by a mystery man who knew way too much than what he could have gathered on social media. Trying to recollect how she knows this handsome stranger; she takes a trip down memory lane. Kim-Ly is a Vietnamese Black American who was born at the height of the Vietnam War. Orphaned at a young age, she began a strenuous journey to find a family and excel in a promising career. In Vietnam she was outcasted because of her dark skin. In New York she had to overcome language and culture barriers. In Richmond she was misused. In Miami she was lonely. In Washington she was barren. Her persistently changing life was a constant struggle, but Kim-Ly's faith helped her overcome.
