15 year old Keyanna McKnight is not just your average girl from the ghetto. She does have her "ratchet" tendencies, but she wants more for herself. With a mother strung out on crack and a father whos nowhere to be found, it wont be easy. Keyanna is determined to make a better life for her and her little sister and get out of the ghetto, even if that means giving up her dream of going to medical school. 17 year old August Alsina is trying hard to survive the cold, hard streets of New Orleans. He has to do whatever he can to make a way for himself. For August, pushing rocks was his way to make it in downtown NOLA. Although he always dreamed of becoming a world renown singer, he had accepted the fact that he would probably be in the game for a while. Keyanna and August will both discover that sometimes you have to do things you dont want to do in order to make it. When the two cross paths, will they willingly join forces to get out of the ghetto or wil they be forced to work together to save their lives?

Remember when you was a child and always wanted to grow up just so you could be grown? Well that's what Chyna wanted. Being a teenager and always stuck and monitored under her parents supervision got tiring for her. She wanted to do what she wanted and go where ever she wanted without having to have permission first. Getting tired of her parents rules and guidelines she wanted to see for herself what this crazy world we live in was made of. But what happens when she gets a taste of that, but not the good taste either. A bitter and sour one. Her pride won't let her go back either. So follow her crazy journey into "adulthood", where she's forced to do things she never thought she would. And be around the people her parents warned her about. I bet she wishes she wasn't so grown now.

Different state, new friends . . . same bullshit! There's always somebody lurking in the background, somebody who you never thought you'll see again, but even though all is forgivin' nobody truly forgets. Chyna can never seem to escape tragic situations. Even though she's in college in another state it seems her past still wants to follow her. Let's just hope she can get through everything this time around. Without having to cause harm to anyone. Copyright © 2015 by GoldenGoddessR All rights reserved.
