Publisher's Synopsis
Chicago is a dangerous place to grow up especially when you have nobody to lean on. Senior year is supposed to be easy breezy and filled with so much excitement. Not for this young group of friends, they will experience break ups, death, jail time, pregnancy, and so much more drama. When everything hits you at once the best feeling in the world is knowing you have somebody that has your back. Although Amora is captain of the dance team and dates the most popular guy in school, life still has a way of pushing her down. Some of us wish our mothers would give us our space while Amora just hoped to be recognized. Malik is the captain of the basketball team and seems to have it going on. That is until Thanksgiving Day when all the secrets unravel and paramedics arrive. Kira has a strong head on her shoulders and all she know is being independent. Father walked out on them after years of abusing her mother. Looking for love was never in the plans until she gave Vondre a chance. Vondre is the man of the house and ball is the only way out. Providing for his family is all he knows but a part time job aint cutting it. Veronica has both parent's but it's like she has neither. Her pass has built up so much anger and it takes a real man to help relieve it. Fast money ain't always good, but it pays the bills. Jordan was captain of the football team and a genus when it came to science. No matter how brilliant he was the streets are like fathers to the young black men. Young, alone, and broken all she wanted was love. Gina just wanted to get back what was hers. And she would do that no matter what it took. New to the streets of Chicago he just wanted to stay low. Keep his head in the books and make his mama proud. Who knew Khalil's whole future stood right before him with a broken heart ready to be mended.
