20-year-old Assyria Adina Stone yearned for peace but favored excitement. She was in a lane of her own. Discovering herself. Physically, she was on earth, but mentally, she was living through her own fantasy. She was a young woman and wanted to explore the many heavenly virtues the world had to offer, even if that meant shaking a few tables here and there; she wanted to live. But in living, she was a lost soul and lost souls often don't realize the dangers in front of them until it's too late. Soon to be 25, Ava Amari Stone found a love like no other but the journey wasn't easy. She was no longer a registered nurse, but a full-time businesswoman, who took the fashion industry by storm and was sure to leave no crumbs or room for mistakes, or sticky fingers.

Ava Amari Stone; 12 going on 13 and the most talented little firecracker ever. Dance, art, fashion, makeup, and cooking were just some of her hidden gems, but she had a thing for building any and everything from scratch; a habit she's developed from her father. She wasn't your ordinary teenager, she enjoyed animé, crime shows, mystery movies, and even corny romantic comedies but her specialty was Kairo. Her right-hand man, her best friend, and second set of ears. They were like two peas in a pod but reminded Renae so much of her and Dajon. With growth comes trials and with trials comes blessings, not everyone is meant to tag along when you make it. Sometimes you outgrow or have to let them go, but through the younger Stones eyes, take a look at just how different things were back when their parents were in the game to now... ©️ _jasthewriter 2020
