The Love She Needed: Episode One

By Johnazia Gray

What happens when your mama commits a hit-and-run, leaving somebody dead in the street, and suddenly she knows her and her children's lives will never be the same once she turns herself in?
You're forced to meet your daddy for the first time and face the woman he's been hiding you from for almost eighteen years. With your mama facing prison time, you turn your hustle all the way up, pulling every trick, scheme, and hustle you can think of to help your siblings get a lawyer who can keep your family from falling apart.
But getting money isn't the only problem.
Now you're dealing with a daddy who barely knows you, a stepmother who hates your existence, and a new family that doesn't want anything to do with you. And just when you think your life can't get any messier, it proves that her mama's situation is only the beginning, because once Zariah steps into her daddy's world, she realizes that drama follows her wherever she goes.
Nobody's about to shame her for the way she lives her life, though.
Not her daddy, his wife, her new family, and definitely not a few good men who think they can change her.
Zariah isn't looking to be saved. She's just trying to do whatever she can to save her family.
