Miles to Go Before I Sleep

The Rainbow Tribe Series, Book 1

By Treasa August

As Samantha is forced to navigate intertwined truths after Olivia’s accident, she questions her decisions and wonders if they will lead to a new beginning or a heartbreaking ending.

When Olivia, a dedicated nurse working in the neonatal intensive care unit, finishes her shift five minutes early, she is tragically struck by a drunk driver, resulting in a coma. This unexpected event drastically disrupts the lives of her family and friends, setting in motion a chain of unforeseen and life-changing events that might not have occurred otherwise.

Samantha, a composed and steady attorney, lovingly acts as a pillar of support for everyone around her. Olivia’s accident forces her to face unresolved issues from her past, which ultimately leads her to make decisions she never imagined she would.

Michael, Olivia’s former husband, has returned after a six-year absence abroad. The tension between him and Samantha is evident from the initial phone call. His aggressive attempts to restore his family ties further complicate matters and inflame an already tense situation, risking an explosive confrontation.

Dr Constanca Prego, an accomplished neurosurgeon, is called to operate on Olivia after her accident. To those around her, Dr. Prego seems to have everything – wealth, beauty, intelligence, and incredible talent – yet she hides emotional wounds of inadequacy. While everyone relies on her to “heal” Olivia, she struggles with her own hidden secrets that rise to the surface on the night of the accident.

Miles to Go Before I Sleep is a complicated, morally grey sapphic love story that explores the concept of whether two things can be true at the same time when it comes to love. In addition, will the answer lead to a new beginning or an ending for those involved?
