Opis

A story of a young African American girl, growing up in urban NYC during the crack plague of the 80's and 90's. Labeled the problem child of five this branded a permanent mark on her soul. She would find herself drowning in a bottomless pit of abuse and violence. She would be forced to deal with the inadequacies of fatherless boys, who would knowingly or unknowingly define her very being. She would meet the boy that would turn her world upside down, with violence, fear and repeated sexual assault. On her quest to find herself spiritually she would eventually find love, or what she thought to be love from another young man, that would introduce her to a whole new world of violence. A young man that would lead two separate lives, a religious man by day and a thug by night. He would become so emotionally attached to her that it would almost end his life. This riveting tale will move you with suspense, and lock you into the moment emotionally.
