Maxine Doll Harvey is a young woman who struggles to make it through an abrasive environment. After her parents pass away at the young age of 8, Maxine is then raised by her older abusive brother, Dorian. Dorian’s status in not only his neighborhood but on the Anne Arundel County Police force make it hard for Maxine to come clean to anyone about the secrets within her household, so she suffers in silence. Maxine’s only comfort is her childhood friend, Darryl Allan. He seems to be the only one who understands her pain even though he isn’t aware of exactly where it hurts. Instead of embracing the feelings that Darryl has for her, she runs in the opposite direction. Maxine’s lack of knowledge about the meaning of love leads her into the arms of an older rich boy with street credibility and charm, Michael Kelly who goes by the name Kelly. Maxine’s friends and family warn her about him, but her yearning for attention blinds her to the fact that Kelly is no good. How long will she suffer before her powerful silent screams are heard? Get ready to take a journey with Maxine to find not only happiness with someone else, but happiness within herself.
