SOMEONE TO CATCH MY DRIFT A sexy and powerful new voice in the world of African American fiction, Jacqueline Powell offers a touching variation on the struggle to find - and keep - Mr. Right. Aspiring singer Nikai Parker is depressed. Her boyfriend has been sent to jail for dating an underage girl, and she feels abandoned and desperate. That is, until her best friend, Sheila, convinces her that a night of clubbing is exactly what she needs to forget her troubles and lift her spirits. While at the club, Nikai's luck begins to improve when she meets a handsome firefighter named Robert Hayes - whom she believes may just be the man of her dreams. As their relationship progresses, Nikai falls completely in love and begins making plans to spend the rest of her life with Robert. However, lady luck has other plans - because Robert is involved with another woman, and this sassy hairdresser named Karen is not going to give up her man without a fight.
