Fifteen-year-old Royce Jamieson is the second eldest out of seven. Her poor family lives in the flats of L.A., where her single mother brought up seven children to believe in the love and hope of their Lord after her dad died. Her older brother, Donte, stood by her side and acted like both an older brother and father through her difficult times.
When Royce's mother is hospitalized with a serious heart attack, Royce and her brother are sent scrambling for money. As Royce steps into the ways and shoes of her brother, she realizes how reckless and daring he is willing to become in order to ensure that his family survives.
She doesn't see his death coming until it's too late. Donte is struck dead by a hit-and-run one night while she and him were out swimming with friends.
Now, she's more desperate than ever to keep her family surviving with food on the table and clothes on their back. Throughout her questions and struggles, her trails and tribulations slowly but surely bring her closer to God when she begins to write to her Lord, in a time of dire love in silenced isolation of the heart.

Knife's Edge
With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one question remains: Which way will she land?
