Publisher's summary

After her mother's tragic death, Shayla is left to navigate her teenage years with little help from her neglectful, playboy father. Used and abused by the adults around her, Shayla makes some risky choices, taking a job as a waitress in one of Harlem's top strip clubs before she's even of legal age. She makes ends meet by running scams on unsuspecting patrons, but her luck soon runs out when she is raped and left for dead one night after work.

Confused and scared, Shayla concocts a lie that leads to an arrest. A man is convicted and sent to prison for the crime, though he insists he's innocent.

Shayla goes about putting her life back together, and with the help of a great mentor, she makes some big changes. Now a graduate of Howard University, she's ready to begin a new career and put her old life far behind her - until an unexpected twist turns everything upside down.

New DNA evidence leads the court to reopen her rape case, and Shayla will be forced to confront the lies that she told. Will she ever be truly free from the ugly demons of her past?

So Hard But Good

This story was so hard to read because it was so true! It hit home in so many ways but even to the names of some characters was the same In my story! So much so that I about stop reading because of nightmares. However, it gave me the encouragement and motivation I needed to continue to write my story!

Great read

I really started off upset with the main character but as time went on I started to change my judgment and see some of my life story (molestation) That in turn has affected my own sexual and relationships to a degree
I loved the ending and I felt good for most of the outcomes 🙏🏽
