Publisher's Synopsis
Back in the days when things were cool...Joseph "Joe Doe" Henry was a young man on the right path with big dreams. He was raised to always get his own, and that hard work always paid off. But when he meets Ramona, a girl that he wants to give the world, he knows that his little side hustle won't be enough to afford her the life he feels she deserves. With his friends Beast, Ratchet, and Twin sharing his mentality, one fateful night set them up for a successful life. But with success comes envy and drama. Joe Doe soon finds out who really has his back, and who can't be trusted. Hopefully, he doesn't lose himself, or Ramona in the process. Ramona "Mo" Lindsey is young, and has the mindset of a queen. She and her friends, Shirley, Nina, Beauty, and Beauty's annoying tagalong little sister, Peaches, they have their heads in the books, planning to leave Birmingham in their dust when they got out of school. When she catches the eyes of a king, she realizes that she can have the happily ever after that most little girls only dream of. But when a dear friend can't let her win and tries to come in between her and the man of her dreams, she may have to choose between a friend and her potential forever. The friends may have to choose sides, because of envy and backstabbing. Can they come back together without it costing them everything they've known all their lives: each other? All urban legends start somewhere. There's nothing like a real love story to show us that black love and unity exist. J-Rock and Char, Blaze, Ice, and Kawan came from a rare breed of thinkers that turned them into the hittas that took down the Triad. Find out where it all began in He Gave Me His Heart, I Made Him A Legend.
