When a mugging leaves Angela Prescott bruised and battered
in a hospital bed, she has no idea how her life is about to
change. For her, this event is just further proof that men
are untrustworthy and to be avoided, but the handsome John
Chang is determined to show her that men can also be caring
and gentle. Angela's past experiences have taught her the
hard way to keep people at arm's length. She doesn't
understand why John Chang ignores her desire to be left
alone and continues to give her his close, personal
attention. When he begins breaking through emotional walls
she's built through the years, she decides she must end the
relationship before it even starts. She does everything she
can to run him off, but when it appears her efforts may be
successful, she starts to wonder whether getting rid of him
is what she really wants. Will their love be enough to
overcome the hurdles of emotional baggage and racial
differences? Will Angela ever be able to let go of her past
and allow John Chang to help her place her Tears in a Bottle?
