Respect Her Grind

About the Book

Hi my name is Serenity. What you see is what you get. There’s no if and or but’s about it, or beating around the bush. I tell it like it is, the way it is, and how it’s going to be. Whatever I want I get and nobody steps in my way of getting it. You see before I became who I am today I had to come to terms with my demons. I started out at the age of sixteen getting to know Tavia, Fatima and Sharell. These girls were my home girls, or so I thought, but there was no one truer than Tavia. Tavia helps me calm down and come back to reality until one day our lives take a twisted turn to hell from the easy going life which consists of school and a two parent home to the drug game. This is my story and I’m bringing it to you cut throat. Not sugar coating nothing because the game aint sugar coated. That’s just who I am and the way it is. Sit down and take a deep breath because this ride is much more wicker than any damn rollercoaster. I’m taking you all the way.
