Stamped By Deception

By A.M. Ayers

Conscious is doing life in Federal Prison, leaving Quivette out in the vile Cleveland, Ohio streets to take care of their son. After continuously having to leave work because her son is getting into trouble at school, Quivette is fired. Rent is coming up, the car is acting up, and she got a child to feed-with no family support. Quivette plans to keep a promise, but what happens when the trials and tribulations that comes with being a single mother kicks in and her closest friend is a tall, dark, and handsome man?

Easy Money has known Quivette since they were delinquent teens running from CPS in the projects. Miraculously, when the feds swooped in and snatched up the whole MCM posse, Easy caught a light bid. Ten years later he is out and a respected O.G. over the same streets that nearly devoured him as a child. He has respect for Conscious, but Quivette is broke, lonely, and fine. Will Easy play on her vulnerabilities or will he just continue to be the friend that she needs? Will the greater danger looming over Easy be the end of his reign? Or will he slip through the cracks once again?

All the while, Aizair "Three A" Allen is at the tender age of ten. Daily, he is around his mother and O.G. absorbing everything that they show him and not showing him. On top of that, he idolizes his father's reputation, but did Conscious give his son something far greater than a street rep? If Quivette is the depiction of single mothers in Americas' hood, and Easy the hustler, will Aizair be the child that is STAMPED BY DECEPTION and become the next generation of this reoccurring cycle that we call black America?
