About this listen
Beware of the company you keep.
K’wan’s urban fiction coming-of-age novel, Promise Broken, is set in the gritty streets of Newark, New Jersey. The story follows 17-year-old Promise Mohammed as she attempts to uphold friendships and new relationships - even if they lead to her demise.
After Promise’s mother dies in a tragic car accident, it leaves a void in Promise’s life that she is yearning to fill. This titular novel finds Promise spiraling into a life of crime and drug affiliation by the company she chooses to keep.
Also coping with abandonment and a lifelong broken commitment from her biological father, Promise ultimately has two goals: to graduate from high school and to be loved. But can she find the love that she seeks from Aunt Dell, two best friends, Mouse and Keys, or drug-dealer Asher - the man who captivates her - despite the fact that each relationship will lead to life-altering events? Only time will tell.

Story
A tragic beginning to life led Jah and Shauka Disciple to homelessness and poverty at such a young age that they grew into men before their time. Yet, they turned their hunger, abandonment, and suffering into diamonds, mansions, and power. The natural hustler instinct they’d inherited from their father was their driving force. Yet, this story starts when Messiah turns 18 and is finally freed from his adoptive parents. Reluctantly, he leaves his twin sister behind as he, Jah, and Shauka run the streets and break yearning hearts along the way.

Law grew up in the trenches. Hustling since the age of 12, his focus was making life better for his mother and brother. Finding intimate love was never a priority because he didn’t have many examples of that around him. Instead, he was taught to focus on getting money, not finding the one. Yet upon seeing her, Zuri pulled something out of Law that was foreign to him. Though he had been with his girlfriend, Whitney, for a long, exhausting decade, he had never experienced a woman taking his heart so mercilessly.

Story
Tayshawn Torres is a child born in the slums and cursed by the sins of his parents. His mother is a notorious drug addict and whore who's more concerned with getting her next high than she is with Tayshawn's well-being. His stepfather hates him so much, he literally treats him like an animal, forcing him to sleep in a cage and scavenge for scraps of food wherever he can find them.

Let me wanting more
This was a pretty good story. I’m really curious to know what happens next. Unlike a lot of good books this story felt very realistic. I could see all the characters and see this playing out in real life.
Off to book 2.

To the narrator.
ok so just a heads to the narrator, being a Newark resident.
Weequahic high is pronounced Week- way not Week-a-hic, and Piru is pronounced Pie- Ru, not
Pee- ru. Something you should definitely know if narrating Urban audio books. i can go on with a mutiple more hiccups, but ill let you live. Other than that overall good book and good story line.

Awesome Read
I always love to listen to books narrated by Honey Jones she does a spectacular job making you feel as if you can visualize the characters. This book had many twists and turns losing me at points when I assumed what was going to happen. Great read waiting on book 2.
