ROOFIED

A No Tears For Black Girls Story

By: J.C. Reedburg

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Valerie Perkins lost everything to the music industry—her dreams, her sanity, her son. In 2007, she was an aspiring singer with a voice that could stop traffic. One night at a Buckhead mansion party changed everything. The champagne was spiked. The industry mogul was untouchable. And when she woke up, her life was already over.

Eighteen years later...

Valerie works as a hotel housekeeper in Atlanta, medicated into compliance, her past buried under layers of pills and silence. She cleans toilets at the Park Regency while the music industry she once dreamed of joining celebrates itself in the ballroom above her head.

Then she sees her.

A rising young rapper with raw talent and a voice that cuts like a knife. Vulnerable and surrounded by the same predators who destroyed Valerie's life.

When maternal instinct kicks in, Valerie knows she has to protect this girl from the industry's wolves. She's seen what they do. She's lived through it. She won't let it happen again.

But some protection is worse than the threat.
Some secrets should never be revealed.
And some cycles of violence can never be broken.

ROOFIED is a devastating exploration of generational trauma, untreated mental illness, and the music industry's predatory underbelly. From the author of the acclaimed No Tears For Black Girls series comes a psychological thriller that asks: What happens when love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all?
