I like to give my honor to God for blessing me with the gift of writing. To my mom, who is always there to make me laugh.  You will never know how much you put in me. Thank you for the late night calls, the smiles when I wanted to give up, and for teaching me from birth to know my worth. To my four children , Kiuna, Ken, Kiera, and Keyvion- thank you for teaching me exactly what love is.  To all my siblings, thank you for being there during all my crazy scenes in life. To my crazy aunts, Tasha Cole and Clara Raspberry , thank you for showing me that it’s not just me. We make crazy look so dope. To all my cousins, I love you. To my #MLP team – this is our year. To my Publisher , Marques Lewis , no amount of words can explain how grateful I am to you. On the worse day, you still believe and support your team. You’ll never know what that means to us. To all of my readers, thank you for supporting my dream. To my mentor Tangie Hicks Elam, thank you for everything that you do. All the fruits of your labor shall be rewarded in his priceless name. Last but not least, to anyone that has a dream- never give up. When I was homeless living in a shelter, I never thought that I would live to fulfill my dreams. I did it with a smile and with the faith of a mustard seed. No matter how hard it has been, something inside me just wouldn’t let go. It’s called Hope, Strength, Courage, and Motivation. And this is only the beginning.

    It’s been a week since Liz took my son, and I can’t wait until I get that bitch. Out of all the dumb shit I’ve done , nothing compares to this. Ki won’t take my calls and Mama Jo won’t even look at me. Jaylin is all I have left, and to be honest I’m surprised he is still around. Kaylah been sneaking around me scared that I’m going to flip out on her. Like every night, I’m sitting in her guest room in the dark. She walks in the room with a suitcase in her hand .
    “Wassup , Kaylah?” I ask.
    “ I got to go to Boston.” she says .
    “Now? For What? I need you.”
    “I have to go and get my son Jovian.”
    “Son? What son? What the fuck Kaylah!”
    “I’m so sorry Jovian. I should’ve told you about him, but I just couldn’t.”
    “How old is he?”
    “Six.” she says.
    “So you’re been hiding a fucking kid! Kaylah who the fuck are you?”
    “I never thought we would make it this far, and I was only here to get away from my abusive ex-husband.”
    “What? Whoa! You’re married ! When were you going to tell me all
