About this eBook
In the little city of Flint, MI, the good die young and the people left standing are the grimiest of characters. With reign over the city's drug trade, Benjamin Atkins made sure that his precious daughter, Raven, was secluded from the grit that the city had to offer. But when Raven's young heart gets claimed by Mizan, a stick-up kid in search of a come-up, there's nothing Benjamin can do about losing her to the streets. She chooses love over loyalty and runs off with Mizan, but her new role as wifey soon proves to be more than she can handle.
Puppy love always feels right, but things turn stale, and she soon finds that everyone she loves has disappeared. All she has is Mizan, but when hugs and kisses turn to bloody lips and black eyes, she realizes that Mizan is not who she thought he was.
Raven becomes desperate for a way out, but this time, Daddy can't save her. Every time she finds the courage to leave, fear convinces her to stay. Like a moth to a flame, Raven is drawn to Mizan, even though she knows he'll be the death of her.
When the hood life she chose becomes unbearable and the only way out is in a coffin, what will she do?

I've always been a fan of urban fiction. I have always enjoyed Ashley
Antoinette and JaQuavis books too, so when I seen this book, I knew I had
to read it. If you are from an urban community, then you will love this
book. This book takes you on a journey of a real life, but fiction drug
king pin, his daughter, her story, and how she chooses the wrong man to
love. When you choose a bad boy, your going to end up getting hurt, and
Raven learns that the hard way. This is Ravens story. Great book.

A friend of mine gave me a copy of this book in middle school and I found myself falling in love with the words of it. I never knew how so many things could go wrong so quick it grabbed my attention from page 1 and left me wanting more my inspiration to being the writer I am today
