Waiting In Vain by Colin Channer

Meet Fire - Jamaican born, charming, poetic and talented - a man who's vowed never to play love is blind' games again. Then he meets Sylvia, a beautiful magazine editor and together they must choose between the love in their lives and the love of their lives.

Channer has worked at Wellesley College as a Newhouse Professor of Creative Writing and at Brandeis University as the Fannie Hurst Writer in Residence. The novella The Girl with the Golden Shoes, a profoundly touching and hypnotic journey in Edwidge Danticat's words, is one of his many written works.
