Relentless Fate

By Jaqueda Jefferson

Like most teenaged boys his age, Kareem Cox is coming to a crossroad in his life--that fork in the road where he has to decide which path he will take. Life hasn't been easy for Kareem. He has watched as his mother has done it all by herself, struggling to provide a decent living for her children. While Kareem's father has been mostly absent in his life, Kareem doesn't hide his resentment. Kareem's life takes a turn for the better when Shay walks into his life with her own problems. Shayla, aka Shay, is a teenaged single mother who is clear about what she needs to do to take care of her son, Jaxson. New to the area, she moves in with her grandmother, thinking a fresh start with no distractions will be good for her. However, Kareem may be just the distraction she needs. Together, these young lovers are seemingly invincible, until society's ills are thrust upon them. How will Kareem survive this intrusion into his life? Will Shay stand by him? Relentless Fate is a coming-of-age story that dispels the stereotypes that are often attached to the youth from certain backgrounds.
