Publisher's summary

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?

Wow... was NOT expecting that!

Trust me when I say, it's WORTH the credit. This story was a lot, in all the best ways tho. The ending was better than I imagined and the narrator was on point. Wonderful all around!

So So sad and low down.

This book was so sad and low down. But is a true visual of "NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER" If you can make it through the hard stuff, you will experience a story of victory. This read will give you hope and bring you back to the Holy Spirit (And it's not much talk about God or religion) You will remember Faith, Love, and Hope. A MUST READ!!!!! I am about to read some more of this author's work. You just gained a new fan!!!!
