Product Description
by Dyscern Phoenix (Author)
From the projects of Brooklyn, New York, a young girl finds her way through the mean streets of Fort Greene projects in the mid- and late-1980s. Daily encounters with drugs, drug dealers, violence, abuse, and love leave her wanting to escape. She has nowhere to go and can't seem to escape fast enough. One day, she receives an unexpected gift from an unexpected source, and this is when she discovers that if she uses this gift, she cannot be defeated.
She is afraid of losing those she loves and the bad things that keep happening to her. She makes mistakes along the way and wants to give up but knows that if she doesn't do something about it, she'll remain in this never-ending cycle. She knows that this gift has saved her many times before. And if she continues to believe and have faith, it will again. Somehow, fear always shows up, but she fights it and wins. She knows, as long as she keeps asking, God is determined to give her the grace and resilience she needs to keep going.
