Her Life As She Knew It

By: S. Cassadera

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Born of mixed heritage, Jayliah gravitates toward her father's side of the family more than her mother's because that's all she knows. Her actions are being tested daily by a biased mother that she has to defend her choice of friends. While exploring her sense of identity, her parents are experiencing their own crisis. Ambrielle has been harboring a dark secret for most of her life. When she feels threatened to expose her shameful past, it plummets her into acting out. This secret has caused a wedge between her and her husband's marriage. How could she think it was all water under the bridge? Not only is she not close-knitted with her daughter as she wishes, but the endless arguing weakens the mother-daughter relationship.

As Jayliah encounters typical teenage ventures associated with adolescence and challenges like her upcoming 18th birthday, prom, and graduation, she deliberately conducts secret meetings with her maternal grandparents. All things were good, so she thought until a bombshell dropped on her life. Will Jayliah accept the newfound beliefs, or will it send her racing in a downward spiral?

Tyrese has been a faithful man to his family and would do anything to protect them, but when his back is pressed against the wall, will it be enough to save his daughter from the chaos caused by lies?
