KILLING ME SOFTLY, shares the events in the life of an ordinary woman
desperately fighting to stay alive. Kimberly Parker-Williams is living
with, and sadly dying of AIDS. She contracted the virus from a former
fiancé who was living a double life. Kimberly, now married to her
college beau is enjoying a lucrative career and living with the
day-to-day diminishing of her life. When she reads that her former
fiancé’s lover is planning to marry a woman, she is outraged. Kimberly
wants revenge, she devises a plan to expose her 'ex' and also let the
unsuspecting bride know that her intended is living on the down low.
Running parallel with Kimberly's story is one of Lyric Knowles, a
thief and a rogue who specializes in white-collar crime. A single gay
Black man, Lyric attracts his victims with his stunning charm, seduces
them and violates their financial assets. He travels the globe as his
crimes grow desperate and the evil of his schemes are revealed. He's
on the FBI's "most wanted" list for forgery, bad checks, credit card
fraud and identity theft.
Keith Stewart has written several risqué subplots, with deeply moving
characters. He touches on the tragedy of partner abuse and he
graphically and ostensively brings alternative lifestyles out of the
closet. This is a dramatic, fast-paced, suspenseful tale of deception
interweaved with crimes of passion, but he unravels the subplots and
links the pieces. KILLING ME SOFTLY should enlighten and educate
readers on the perils encountered when your fall in love with someone
who is misrepresenting. This is a superb adaptation of some volatile
issues.
