Yesterday’s Tomorrow

Who says a girl needs her mother to teach her how to drive down the road toward womanhood? That may not necessarily be true, but for Alyx, she can't help but wonder if her mother could have at least helped her avoid some of the potholes; potholes that often leave her broken down and inoperable.

It doesn't matter that growing up Alyx's mother turns a blind eye while Alyx is one punch away from getting a black eye as a result of the torment her mother's boyfriend, Tony, puts her through. In spite of it all, even as an adult Alyx longs for the love and comfort of her mother.

Bound and determined to jump behind the wheel without a license and find her way to her destiny on her own, Alyx does what everyone expects of a girl who ended up in foster care as a child; she gets lost. For once in her life she's relieved when she meets a man who she feels she's headed in the right direction with. When he turns out to be someone totally opposite than who Alyx thought he was, she finds herself at a fork in the road. Decisions have to be made. It's a matter of life and death; and not just for Alyx.
