Bella

I was Down South on a Plantation to parents who were also born in the Deep South. I am the third oldest of ten children born to my parents. I was born Southern Baptist, and after moving to the state of Illinois in 1978, my family began serving in the Church Of God In Christ, (C.O.G.I.C.). I met the first husband, at that Church when I was singing in the junior choir. We were both in junior high school. I was age 13 and He was 14. I was very fond of him, but we did not start dating until later. I began college in 1985 and later we had a son and that is when I temporarily ended my college studies. Our courtship was only known to the two of us at the beginning. Before our separation, we had two more sons. There was a second marriage out of which came three daughters. I am a mother of six; three sons and three daughters, respectively. I currently reside in Southern California where I have launched a nonprofit organization that assists families who have experienced violence and trauma, and plans are also underway to begin a mentoring program for African Youth. I am creative with recipes, and I love to cook and create all types of dishes, especially Southern Foods. I am also the bestselling author of the book Quiet Storm. Most importantly, I have a heart and a mind to serve humanity and work for the betterment of underserved communities. I also work with other agencies for the same cause, donating to charities, and advocating for victims and survivors of domestic violence through the nonprofit organization that I have founded. The MOTH Foundation, Inc. The acronym MOTH stands for Matters of The Home.

About the Authors

That Certain Ring BELL-EYE

Hello, my name is Bella. I run a detective agency in Palm Beach, Florida. I have only one client—the fabulously rich heiress, India Hays. Yes, that India Hays. Only one client, you say? Well, India is very particular and she would not approve of me working another job. She doesn’t know that I own and run the smallest and smartest detective agency in Palm Beach. My agency is called Bell-eye. I am Bell-eye. I have one assistant, a Daschund named Winston, an incurable romantic who is easily befuddled and bemused. Good help is hard to find, even in Palm Beach.

You would like Palm Beach. The weather is good most of the year. The crime rate is low. But even I must admit, crime attempts are not. Palm Beach is an affluent community. Most of our residents have business interests that usually bring an individual at least one million dollars a year. We aren’t talking principle or total assets, I am simply saying millionaires are a dime a dozen here. India Hays’s dad is a billionaire. I couldn’t tell you her net worth, or could I? Client confidentiality! Palm Beach is home to the working rich and the idle rich. India is the working rich. Her dad is always expecting her to have a new idea, a new deal going. And this is where I come in. I have been engaged by my client to see that she doesn’t get fleeced, hurt, or taken by anyone. She has lawyers, two bodyguards, and the Palm Beach Police on her side.
