Fiction
This thrilling urban mystery takes the reader on an explosive ride through a life of ups and downs, twists and turns and finally to a girl's unpredictable final destination.
Everyone thinks they know her –family, friends and even the men she's slept with. But how could anyone truly know the real Jordan when she doesn’t even know herself?
From the outside looking in, one would think she is a normal girl. But as her story depicts, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Deep pain, confusion and regret lives inside of her – and she is constantly at war with herself. But she hides it well. Jordan is a beautiful, young, impressionable girl from Detroit. Somewhere deep inside she is a sweet girl, but the evils within her causes her life to spiral out of control. Overcome with jealousy, insecurity and hate leads to a life of drama filled with lies, betrayal and even death.
But just when she thinks she’s discovered peace within – she finds she can’t escape the demons of her past. Her struggle to find herself is a treacherous road with many mistakes along the path, including murder. But it may be too late for this D girl to find the inner peace and security she so desperately searches for. Karma catches up to her and delivers her inescapable destiny.
Excerpt
Damn how did I get here, I told myself I was just going to meet him for a couple of minutes. Let him know that I'm a different person and that I was getting my life together. I just wanted to talk to him about the way I'd been feeling and about the things I've been studying and about how much I've grown as a woman. And as much as I wanted to let go of the past, I still had some unanswered questions and I needed some closure before moving on with my life and completely walking away from it all. But every time I get with him its like he gets his way. Its always trouble and it's always at my expense.
