Shortcuts: A story about choices and consequences

By T.L. Criswell

Imani McNair finds herself in the exact place her parents tried to shelter her from. Her good girl reputation was challenged at the flash of the handsome Brandon Garrison's smile. Imani is at a crossroad in life as she struggles as a new mother, balancing college life, a part-time job, and a dilapidating romance. Imani's overbearing father couldn't reach her with his harsh tones and oversimplified advice. On the horizon of adulthood, Imani's perspectives began to shift slowly. Suddenly, her best friend's non-traditional career path starts to show its value. Her best friend has captured an independence that Imani now envies. But is she willing to make the choices that will lead her to a similar path? Will Imani release the crutch of her children's grandparents and stand on her own two feet? Can she manage to raise these boys on her own? Will her absence snap Brandon back to reality before he loses the love of his life forever?
