The 40s were booming with expansion. Metaphorically with the stock market boom and entrepreneurship on the rise, so we're young talents who figuratively wanted more than what their small town held. And with more than enough dreams to fill the moon, the Great Migration to rural Louisiana was just that, a dream in the making. However, it was no doubt there would be an increase in territory control, crime and injustice. Follow the story of Marietta Turnhill, LeAndrea Collins and Symona Williams as they learn while digging from the soil to superstardom, All things that glitter ain't gold.

Fire and Ash
Ringer has spent his entire life fighting to stay afloat in a world created to work against him. Poverty, violence, and the unspoken rules of the streets close in on him from all sides. The only thing keeping him grounded is his tight-knit group of friends. Then Adeline crashes into their lives. She's from the other side of town, refusing to stay inside the neat little box society has built for her. With her upbeat attitude and infectious smile, she forces her way into their circle - and into Ringer's life - whether he likes it or not. Too bad the streets don't forgive as easily as she does. When someone they love is ripped away, revenge becomes the goal. And Adeline finds herself right in the middle. When you don't know who to trust and danger waits for you around every corner... how do you stay alive? Only three things matter now: revenge, love, and survival. When everything burns, which one will survive the ashes? (18+ violence, explicit language, explicit sexual content, racial themes, violence, references to self-harm)Complete
