Nina Epps married too young, to the wrong man, and for all the wrong reasons. Now, years later, she’s stuck with a lazy, womanizing husband who still tries to control her life. Meanwhile, her grown daughter is following a similarly destructive path, throwing away a bright future for a no-good partner. For the first time, Nina’s quiet spirit is stirring, urging her to wake up, reclaim her life, and seize the happiness she’s long denied herself—if it’s not already too late.

Dr. Richard Vincent thought marriage meant building a life with someone who had his back, but instead, he got a wife, her freeloading sister, and a cunning, overbearing mother-in-law who rules the roost. For years, Richard has sacrificed his peace of mind for the sake of his son, playing the “yes” man to keep the family harmony intact. But when a devastating betrayal robs him of everything he thought he had, he’s left to pick up the pieces of a life shattered beyond recognition.

When life’s unexpected twists bring Nina and Richard together, they discover not just a way out of their struggles but a way into something extraordinary. As they face the challenges ahead, they uncover love’s profound ability to heal, restore, and sustain—even when the future feels uncertain.

Taken for Granted is an unforgettable story of resilience, hope, and the courage it takes to embrace life’s second chances.
