What they took

By Latoya Cunningham

Raina Coles spent sixteen years being the person everyone could count on.

She worked two jobs. Paid bills. Covered tuition. Helped keep the family home afloat after her mother died. She sacrificed quietly because that's what family was supposed to do.

Then a denied loan exposes everything.

Her brother used her identity to buy property.

Her sister secretly sold the home Raina spent years paying for.

Nearly half a million dollars is missing.

And everybody knew except her.

Including the man she planned to marry.

Now every person in Raina's life has an explanation. Every betrayal comes with an excuse. And every one of them is counting on the same thing:

Raina will forgive them.

She always has before.

But this time, she's done cleaning up everyone else's mess.

As the family begins falling apart without her holding it together, Raina is forced to confront a painful truth of her own: maybe the people she loves learned to depend on her because she never made them stand on their own.

WHAT THEY TOOK is a gripping family drama about money, loyalty, betrayal, boundaries, and the woman who finally decides that choosing herself is not selfish.
