This book is an absolute must for any young lady to read. Really, a read for anyone. This book entails of Kemba Smith's story from a college student, drug dealer's girlfriend, to inmate. There are many stories of unfair sentencing in the United States, particularly with African American women. Ms. Smith is a solider for justice and has set the trail for other Black women and men who have been treated unfairly by the American justice system. This is a cautionary tale for those young ladies who are involved with a man based on what he has. It may be all good in the beginning and then...BOOM, he has all types of issues going on. Do not associate with any guy (or woman) based on their status and materialistic things. You never know what they have going on secretly. She encourages individuals to be aware of who they associate themselves with. Also, to be a warrior for justice. Ms. Smith did a great job with telling her story.

This is not a happy book. But it deserves the accolades given because this story had to be told. This could have happened to any of us. I’m so glad she had her son and parents to keep her going.
