• kamyle was only 12 years old when she watched her mother disappear before her eyes. how could she; kahmyle, be left in the care of a man so vile - so disturbed? so disgraceful? he, who she could become. no one intervened, so maybe; that's why? maybe because everyone carried on like it was normal - like she wasn't just a little girl. he should've been dead a long time ago.
kahmyle's father is a monster. a vile and disgusting man. he had the nights of houston in the palm of his hands - money flows. money knows.
and when the days arose, the curtains closed. the sun lights up the streets which he sweeps to keep the nights right - taking girls who wont put up a fight.
when the sun comes up, all tears run dry and the music stops - so the girls rest their weary hearts. even their dawn, dusks'. the sun goes again, and the girls' day begins.
on & on. & on & on. when will enough be enough?
face uncomfortable truths and dip into the minds of the used, neglected, and abused.

"You can't see the future. I might have a chance. You don't know for sure." He mumbled, making her expression soften. "M-my mom used to tell me t-that birds still sing even after a storm. Why shouldn't people feel as free t-to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?" Samir stopped talking for a moment to regather himself so that he didn't stutter, but Nina froze completely. "You don't have to settle with him Nina. It's been five years an-and you're not a-as happy as you should be. You smile differently with me.. and you cry a lot with him. I just think that you deserve to enjoy your time with someone other than h-him for a minute because there's still sunlight out there for you too, even if you can't see it yet."

"Mama, I can't just leave Abir." I admitted, telling her exactly why I couldn't do this. Not only would she be snatching me away from my family and friends but she was taking me away from the person I'd loved for five going on six years. I couldn't just walk away from him. "Baby.." She trailed off, sighing deeply. "I know you love Abir." She stood to her feet to stop packing for a moment and pulled me into her. "But I promise you, there will be other boys. Right now you have to do what's best for you and that's coming with your daddy and I to give you a better life." "Better life for who? You?!" I screamed out, becoming even more angry at her choice of words. As if my feelings were robotic and I could just turn them on and off for any and every person. "My feelings just don't matter to y'all at all, huh?" I asked, crying harder than before now. "Speak to your mother with some respect, Giselle." My father spat to me and I shook my head, watching as they stood there looking at me like some dumb teenager. This wasn't puppy love for me. I didn't spend 5 years building something, just to walk away from it for their dreams. I couldn't do it. Sinner. Book #1Complete
