Synopsis

At 38, Tiana Tomlinson has made it. America adores her as one of the anchors of America Tonight, a top-rated nightly entertainment and news program. But even with the trappings that come with her elite lifestyle, she feels empty. Tina desperately misses her late husband Keith, who died several years before, and her family, who she lost at age fourteen. And in a business that thrives on youth, Tina is getting the message that her age is starting to show and certain measures must be taken if she wants to remain in the spotlight. It doesn't help that at every turn she has to deal with her adversary - the devilishly handsome, plastic surgeon to the stars, Michael Sullivan. But a reporting trip away from the Hollywood madness and into the African wilderness opens Tiana's eyes, mind, and heart and changes her forever.
