She's the One — Sandra Kitt

Deanna and Stacy hadn't seen each other for almost seven years. But just days after receiving the news of her former friend's death, Deanna learns that she has been named guardian of Stacy's biracial daughter. For Deanna, Stacy's death is more than a senseless tragedy. It makes her reconsider what it means to be a mother, a black woman, and a friend. And it reminds her of a moment in her past that she would just as soon forget.

Patterson Temple has no idea what could have brought these very different women together so long ago--Deanna, the confident businesswoman...and Stacy, the young, confused white runaway. He can't help wondering how Deanna will deal with the demands of caring for a small child. She can't understand his skepticism. But when worse comes to worst, they join together--to protect the frightened young girl they have both grown to love, and confront their true feelings for each other...
