Plot Summary of All I Ever Did Was Love a Man
"Sabrena Collins is a pretty woman who is sensitive and more than anything a mother that is devoted to her girls. However, she still needs and desires to find and keep the love that she so desperately desires. She has had 2 failed marriages and now her relationship with Steve Addision is on the rocks. She doesn't want to be a doormat for a man but she needs someone to hold her.

Her life is turned upside down as she discovers Steve's continued lies and deceit. In the midst of this discovery she goes to the doctor because she is constantly tired and can't get her pep back. She's just sick and tired of being sick and tired-- nothing is working. Her life is forever changed after a visit to her doctor."
