This story is the sequel to the Priscilla trilogy, chronicling the coming-of-age and adventures of a self-assured Black American woman of a mixed lineage whose time has come to become the woman she was meant to be. It is the fall of 1987, one year after Priscilla's time in Africa. She has resumed her PR business in Columbus, Ohio, where she waits for something of substance to come across her desk. Then, one day, she receives a handwritten note that reads: "Interested in spearheading the marketing campaign for the next president?" She does not even recognize the signature. So, she researches the presidential hopeful. Priscilla learns that the candidate is a fifth-generation Barbadian American and a US Congressman. He is the chosen one to fulfill his family's quest for the American presidency! Later, she discovers that his primary foreign policy proposal is controversial. At this point, Priscilla also resumes her secret affair with her one-time lover. While the couple is away on a visit back to southern Africa, the subject of the presidential election campaign comes up. However, Priscilla is unaware that Carlton (her secret lover)¿a member of the special ops unit that rescued her during her first time in southern Africähas confided her decision to work on the presidential campaign with his CIA colleagues at Langley. Although her work on the campaign is hardly anything to write home about, it is unrelenting. Priscilla is an outsider again, so her mettle is tested from the beginning to the end. But at each interval, she shows forth her political acumen, which annoys the campaign manager. Mostly, though, like many others who know Priscilla, "There's just something about her," said the campaign manager, but Priscilla hardly ever sees herself the way that others do. Meanwhile, as soon as Priscilla steps into the limelight, the South African assassins who failed to exterminate her during her first time in Africa come after her again, this time on American soil. Twice, they almost kill her; the second time, her life hangs in the balance. In the climax, an old personal secret comes to light, and Priscilla conducts the PR performance of her life.
