Chapter One: Hope on the 2nd Try

After years of heartbreak and loss, Nina and DeAndre finally welcome a miracle-Jalen, their only son, destined for greatness as a Division I football star. But just as the dream begins to unfold, tragedy strikes on the field, leaving Jalen lifeless on life support and his parents facing the unthinkable: pulling the plug. As they bury their only child, they learn his girlfriend is pregnant with twins-offering one last light in the darkness. But fate twists again when she dies during childbirth, leaving the shattered couple to raise the children alone. Raw, emotional, and deeply human, "When the Lights Go Out" is a gripping journey through loss, legacy, and the fight to find hope again when everything seems destroyed.
