Meet Keisha, Shawna, and LaRhonda. They're best friends for forever, as the saying goes. Growing up in one of the roughest hoods, they've made a pact to get out no matter what. Nothing will tear about this tight trio—or so they think. When Keisha begins to step out of her box and become more of her own person, tension builds among the girls. In the eyes of her trusted friends, her lifestyle has become questionable. What happens when her secrets and desires are revealed? Shawna's life is just starting to look up. She's been hired at a major record label, and she's making enough money to move out of the projects for good. When her good news is met by fake smiles and bad excuses why they can't help her move, Shawna gets a new perspective on how they really feel. LaRhonda sees each of her friends moving up while she's still struggling in the confines of the ghetto. After she gives birth to her third child at the age of twenty-one, she feels like her dreams are out of reach. Her growing jealousy isn't easy to hide. What will happen when her misery wants company?

Weber, Natalie.
