"I honestly thought that this would all be over once my cousin got arrested, but the games in Schaefer had JUST begun." -Josh.

"14th and Schaefer avenue is listed as the Number #1 dangerous city and most filled gang area in the United States. But what happens when you find out that a majority of your family members are the one's in these gangs? Well, my name is Joshua. Only being the age of 18, I know all about the good, the bad, the ugly, and the UGLIER." -Josh.

"The finale piece to my story in Schaefer, a true Gangland." - Josh.

After years of torment and pain, I'm just a shadow of the woman I once was. Even now, after months of freedom, the lingering aches of broken bones, and the memories of unspeakable horrors still keep me from living a life of peace. While I try my best to put back all the broken pieces, the last thing I need is another man-or so I thought. Jake is one of Hollywood's hottest, most popular actors. He's the kind of man a woman like me should avoid at all costs. But his determination to prove to me that happiness is more than just a shattered dream slowly starts to break down my defenses, and I start to hope that I might still be able to find love. Unfortunately, with a painful history like mine, hoping for a better future can turn out to be a huge mistake-especially when the demons of your past refuse to let you go.

She doesn't know who I am, what I do, or how I do it, but truth be told neither do I. I just like the smile that lights up her face when she reads those notes that end the same every time....signed "Anonymously, Yours." ◆◆◆◆◆◆
