Resumen del Editor

Raised in a single-parent household in the Springdale Projects, Chance found a way out. He has graduated from college, landed a job, purchased a home, and has a beautiful girlfriend named Toi. And he did it all the legal way. Chance is nothing like his homeboy, Calhoun, a drug-selling deadbeat who won’t get his life together, not even for his two kids.

Chance’s life changes in an instant when he is falsely accused of murder and sent to prison. He loses everything - his job, his home, his girlfriend, his mother, and almost his mind. A victim of a cover-up and a corrupt prison system, Chance is subjected to attacks by prison guards and inmates, sexual abuse, and too many run-ins with death to count.

The only good thing in Chance’s world is his pen pal, Deyja, who is dealing with her own painful past. He looks forward to her mail and finds himself falling in love. When he is released from prison after seven years, he finds Deyja, but he does not reveal his true identity, for fear that she will want no part of an ex-convict. Unaware that he is her former pen pal, Deyja is falling for this thug whose touch and lovemaking she just can’t get enough of.

When old friends Toi and Calhoun come back into the picture, explosive secrets are revealed, threatening to tear apart everything. Will Chance and Deyja move forward together, or will the past destroy them?

Great story line

Love how vulnerable and resilient Chance is in this book. Not your typical romance novel!

Bravo

Wow! This book was sad! Chance didn’t have any friends! It just goes to show you, that you can’t trust anyone and always keep your eyes open. The narrator was so good. This book made me want to keep listening even to the bad parts because I just wanted good for Chance.

Hold up!

This is my first time listening to a book written by author Karen Williams and I was not The least bit disappointed. This book has so many heartfelt issues one after the other. The story line is anything but basic. When you think you have everything figured out a new twist is thrown your way. I would Definitely recommend this audiobook.

Excellent narrator

The book is so good and interesting. Prison life is a bad journey and the mystery that reveals itself at the end is the best and saddest

I love it!

This book held so much behind it! I kinda wished it was titled different bc it would have appealed to some many different ppl! But as a woman you just don’t know all the things men goes through in life! So much weight on them to be strong! Hats off to the author and narrator

Amazing story

This story could have been based on true events. There were, sadly, so many lifelike prison situations that I kept having to pause the story to compose myself.

Great book

Sad but good. A must read couldn’t put down. I really enjoyed listening to this book.

Amazing!!

This book was very good, it was so sad, but I continued because this really happens in real life. I shed a tear for Chance. My first time listening to this author. I'm a fan and will continue with more. This should be a life time movie. Go for it because I visualized every chapter. Make this a Lifetime Movie!!!

Great God DAMN Book !!!
