Atalia Smith has a tough life. Between an abusive and alcoholic dad, and her mom just being sent off to a mental facility, things are hard. Then there's Malik. He and his family are financially struggling, almost unable to pay the bills. Not to mention his little brothers medical problems. So when Malik is offered the chance to save his family, he doesn't realize that he has to destroy another. In this book you see how friendship is stronger than hate. Family is stronger than struggle. And above all, that love is stronger than betrayal. (I have marked this book as mature do to physical violence and mild language used throughout the story.)
