In their attempt to right the wrongs of the past, Rodney and his friends find themselves in very present trouble. Amidst it all, Rodney's old flame, Katrina, enters the picture in hopes of resuming her role as damsel in distress, but this time around, she finds Rodney is not the man she once knew.

Customer Reviews

Unspeakable
This is an excellent read thought provoking and enlightening. The way the author discusses the trust factor and the miss use by the predator and the family member's naive approach allowing a stranger to be alone with these young boys is revealing. The amazing thing about this story was how this reflects real life situations that you hear about all the time.

This is A good Book.
This Book flows. It's a good read. Any fans of Lee Hayes and the great E. Lynn Harris will truly enjoy this book.
