By: Jahquel J.

Narrated by: Charlie L. Wood, Morris Kellswater

Imagine at nineteen loving a man so deep that you would risk your entire life for him.

Loving him so hard that despite his small pockets, you love him for love. Freedom McGurry loved Ghost like no other. Even though she was nineteen and he was a bit older, broke and trying to trap, she loved him. One night in 2009 causes her to rethink things and she disappears off the face of the earth. She leaves Ghost wondering what ever happened to his love. Liberty, Freedom’s twin, loved her man Pook. After he caught a drug case, she loved him so much that she would have held him down to the end of time. That is, until she sees another woman pregnant with his baby and wearing the same exact ring he had gifted to her. Leaving the courtroom, pregnant and confused, she has no clue what to do. Priest has been raised by his older sister, who is dying from lung disease. She’s all he has known.

When she passes, she leaves behind three daughters, who Priest must raise. A college student himself, how is he supposed to put money on the table for three little girls? Putting down his books, he goes to see Ghost to provide for his family. On the back of the bus in 2009, he comes across Justice McGurry, Freedom and Liberty’s younger sister. A quick smile and a few words are exchanged before they both exit the bus and go their own ways.

Ten years later, Ghost is the head nigga in charge in Staten Island. All the hard work and broke days sculpted him into the trap king that he is today. With his baby brother, Staten, and Priest by his side, nothing moves in Staten Island unless they know about it. Find out how ten years changed all these people’s lives and how life forces them to come back together.

Interesting

I liked the writing, I'm surprise free never told Gosr the details of the last night she was with him. The narrators were okay...it did take some time to get adjusted to their different voices (but not awful).

How everyone knows each other some kinda way.

The love that priest has for justice is beautiful but the ending OMG something told me by him picking up the girls something would happen I just pray they make it through my heart is still beating fast

OMG
