Until one day, on a Thursday night, she meets Raymond Banks.Raymond becomes everything to Esther. Suddenly she feels, for the first time ever, truly alive. Raymond alters her awareness of the world around her and she is soon very much in love with him. But when she discovers something about Raymond that threatens to ruin their happiness Esther is horrified . . .
