Bonus Track As I turned back to my mother, I noticed a book on her bed table. Funny, I hadn't seen it there before. It had a holographic image of the Earth for its cover with the title JOHN K. Imani joins Geoff in London for a unique theater opportunity, only to be set back by the pandemic. But that’s not the only setback. When she emerges from the London Tube at Regent Street, Imani receives a phone message from America and learns that her mother is dying.
