Gardina Verena Holton is the late Deshuan Dupree Holton sister, who has had a long list of problems starting when she got pregnant at 17 to a man who later got arrested, all the way to losing her only brother, to being completely hooked on drugs and alcohol to finally being released out of prison for possession of drugs and aggravated assault with a weapon. She's finally free of prison, but her problems are far from over. Because her daughter is soon to be getting married and won't allow her mother into the wedding or her life until she is completely sober. And with just being released from Prison and with another 11 year old kid to raise since her mom had been raising her child while she was away, how is she going to manage sobriety, the law trying to take her kid, and her oldest daughter completely shutting her out? Marshall Bruce Mathers long time best friend of the late Deshaun has been sober for 10 years, and see's the way his sister is struggling without him. What happens when Marshall decides to take Gardina under his mentor ship and completely take on the responsibility of helping her get sober? Marshall has 3 months to get her sober and prove to everyone including the government that Gardina is stable enough to take care of her youngest daughter, and sober enough to attend her daughters wedding. How will he balance his career? His own family drama? A drug addict who wants to just end it all? And feelings that weren't at all supposed to be developing? Well...I guess you just gotta read and find out. ;)
