The one thing Tina had in common with her mother Antoinette was that they were both victims of other peoples choices. And as they each discovered choices-no matter what or why-have consequences.At sixteen in the blink of an eye Antoinette (Twanie) went from promising super student-with a brilliant future-to assault victim single mother and high school dropout. Disowned by her parents it took Antoinette years to put together the shattered pieces before she could reclaim Tina the six-year-old daughter shed left as a baby with an aging aunt. Years later the unimaginable happened. Antoinette disappeared leaving thirteen-year-old Tina alone desperate and vulnerable-in one of the roughest neighborhoods of Richmond. If not for sympathetic strangers coming to her rescue Tina might not have survived adolescence. But even with her protectors watching over her Tina saw and experienced things that she wished she could forget. Then as she attempted to move forward and live a simple drama free existence a co-workers murder and secrets from her past put her in jeopardy worse than any shed experienced before. And neither her friends her newfound love nor her determination for justice could keep her from becoming the target of some very dangerous people.
