Book Synopsis
Life proves difficult for Kohliene when adulthood comes barreling down on her. Since she had been sheltered and secure in her by a loving Christian mother, Kohliene had always been insulated from calamity until everything abruptly changed.
When things begin to go awry, Kohliene tries to protect her mother's feelings and to hide her shame and hurt behind lies that make matters worse than she could ever imagine. She finds herself on the Southeast D.C. streets, ill-prepared to make the right choices under unfamiliar conditions. She faces desperate consequences for her misguided efforts to do the right thing on her own.
The seedy, surly nightlife and gang violence become her new reality as she looks for love, and sustenance in all the wrong places, and Kohliene does some serious tumbling into life's darkest valleys. Her efforts to right herself and climb out of the the pit require a power she would have to come to know for herself
