Ashes 2 Ashes

By Tashia Marie Carr

Some families inherit money. Others inherit secrets, trauma, and unfinished wars.

In Detroit, loyalty is currency, family is complicated, and the past never stays buried for long.

When Say-Say survives a brutal prison attack, questions begin to surface about an old family wound no one has ever truly healed from. At the same time, Troy "Baby" Laurent is battling blackouts, buried memories, and a growing fear that something inside him knows more than he does.

Then Zoebaby arrives.

Calm, calculated, and fiercely loyal, he isn't interested in rumors or revenge without answers. He wants the truth. But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous that truth becomes.

As old betrayals resurface, hidden relationships unravel, and Grandma Hattie's secrets begin to come to light, the people connected to her are forced to confront what loyalty really means.

Love is tested.

Bloodlines are questioned.

Faith collides with revenge.

And everyone must decide whether they will keep feeding the cycle of pain-or finally break it.

Because blood may make you relatives...

but loyalty, forgiveness, sacrifice, and the choices you make under pressure determine who is truly family.

Ashes 2 Ashes is a gritty, emotional urban suspense novel about family, betrayal, generational trauma, faith, love, and the secrets powerful enough to change everything.

Some fires destroy. Others reveal the truth
