Publisher's Synopsis
Left to be raised by a drug-addicted mother who hates you and her boyfriend that finds pleasure in abusing you, what choices do you have? Do you stay to endure the pain? Or do you run and leave it all? Meet Egypt Parker. Life hasn't always been peaches and cream for her. From the time she was nine-years-old, stones have been thrown her way, left and right. From mental and physical abuse to being raped constantly, she feels like the only person in her corner is her best friend, Ari, and her twin sister, Paris. That all changes when she runs into a long lost friend 11 years later and falls in love. She thinks her life is finally going in the right direction; she has the perfect house, her own business, and the man of her dreams. Life is perfect. But all good things must come to an end, right? Rodney wants to leave the street life alone for good and settle down with the woman of his dreams. After doing time in the pen, he thought moving to a new city would be the best way to leave the past behind...but sometimes, the past has a way of catching up with you. When both of their pasts come back to haunt them, will they be strong enough to remain standing? Or will the past destroy everything in its path?
