When 17-year-old Amani "Mani" Carter loses his best friend Kamari to police violence, he picks up a spray can and turns grief into resistance-painting powerful murals across South Side Chicago to keep Kamari's memory alive.
But as tensions rise and the city pushes back, Mani learns that honoring the dead might put the living in danger-especially when a buried family secret threatens to tear everything apart.
With his older sister Zaria trying to keep them both afloat and his childhood friend Stretch pulled deeper into the streets, Mani must decide how far he's willing to go for truth, legacy, and justice.
Some roots break concrete. Others grow through it.
A story of grief, survival, and finding family in the cracks.

Her Face, Her Heart
"He saw her face and thought of death. He touched her heart and learned to live." Karon never asked to fall in love with Sunnie-the shy twin with the same face as the woman who slit his brother's throat. But when vengeance brought him to her, it wasn't weakness he saw. It was strength wrapped in softness, survival written in kindness, and a sweetness that pulled him from the edge of his own darkness. While the streets burned around him, Karon fought to rebuild his brother's empire with blood and loyalty. But every night, Sunnie gave him a reason to live beyond the hustle-she was a woman who dreamed bigger than the block. She wasn't like Blue, the ruthless twin who destroyed everything. Sunnie was light. And soon, she was everything. But loving her means more than stolen moments. It means defying the ghosts of his past and finally admitting the truth he's always feared: She carries her sister's face... but his heart belongs to her. Raw. Gritty. Explosive. Her Face, Her Heart is a tale of redemption, street loyalty, and the kind of love that makes even the hardest man believe in forever.![Summer [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/146933396-256-k96243.jpg)
