For as long as she can remember, Mina, a 15-year-old student, has wanted to study criminal justice and work towards banishing gang crime in Harlem. Not the typical career choice for someone who neither likes nor trusts the police after they wrongfully arrested and prosecuted her brother for murdering 18-year-old thug, Tevin Bronx. Every weekend Mina goes down to court to argue, but they never listen. One day, by fate, she meets 19-year-old Rakim in the court house, an arrogant, out spoken gang member who is somehow woven into her brother case. Mina falls head over heels for him but as they get closer the secrets get darker. Will she get her brother out of jail? Will her and Rakim find true love? Will she ever be happy? Read on to find out!

My life is such a living hell. My grades are going down, I lost a lot of weight this past month, and I can't stop thinking about what happened! During the time it's late and people are sleeping, I go upstairs to the bathroom. I look through the counter and some drawers and find pills. I take some. I just want to forget about it. I want to forget about everything. The pain, the sorrow, everything.
