What Kind Of Person Is A Mother That Doesn't Love Her Child?

Dedra, girl I was so mad reading this story. Unfortunately, this is reality of so many young girls. Cassidy didn't have a good upbringing but somehow she had a heart of gold. Her sister was her responsibility because her mom didn't want either girl.
Cassidy met Jah and her world became so much better. Jah was learning the ropes and he always had a soft spot for Chantel and Cassidy.
Fee, brought her niece into the fold because wanted her to be a Blocker what she didn't expect was for Naomi to be as scandalous as Fee was. Fee put her men in front of her daughters and never listened to what they tried to tell her. She has caused Cassidy to damage her whole life to protect her sister. Naomi and Fee were so jealous of Cassidy, she had so much poise and grace with her that she didn't realize what a gem she really is.
Meeting Luckie may end up being a great bv thing for Cassidy. I pray she can get out of the mess Fee has allowed to take place in her life. I can't wait to see everything play out. Cassidy definitely is getting it out the mud. Great Read

Ain’t no way

Jeff needs to be dead and not where we think he dead but in a coma and wakes up! All he did was look at them girls he claimed as daughters and Fee was just too blind too dumb to realize what he was doing! She noticed it but ain’t no live gonna make me look the other way when it comes to my kids! Cassidy was pig momma and not fee! I just wish Cassidy don’t get locked up! Now Jah about to come to her rescue if he can! I wish them too stop playing these games and give each other a chance! I mean the love is there but they don’t wanna accept it! Now lucky done took her on a date (lol)! And if lucky is like that then he may be sleeping in that queen size bed next! I hope whatever he do he don’t do it with Naomi! She just like her aunt I can’t stand it! I the Mikey had to be a casualty in the story but he was a good dude! Lord let Pig be Okae and let Jeff be dead dead! Will be waiting for part two

Must Read!!!!!

Some women shouldn't have kids and Fee is one of them. Fee was a trifling ass mother who was jealous of her two daughters Cassidy and Pig. She knew Jeff was a damn creep. Instead of getting rid of the man. She chose him over her daughters. I admire how Cassidy basically protected her little sister and didn't allow her mother harsh words and disrespect to break her. Jah is sooooo humbled. I love the relationship he have with his mother but I also loved the way him and his mother stepped in helped Cassidy and Pig. Him and Cassidy have a genuine friendshipand that I see blossoming into something more greater. Meme wrong as hell for lying on Jah. Knowing there's bad blood between him and her brother Kane. Kane need to tread lightly with Jah. Kane need to be worried about why he trying to wife a hoe. Naomi already showed him who she really was but he's blinded. I knew the moment Naomi character was introduced. That she was going to end up being a ratchet ass mess. Naomi is Fee niece and have the same exact trifling and hoe qualities. Naomi is going to either end up AIDS or dead. Her mentality is all screwed up. Opening her legs and playing game's with whatever dude she think has the biggest pocket's. Won't end well for her. The way this ended left me in my feelings. I knew Jeff was a creep and what Cassidy feared the most happened.

This book was really good I've enjoyed reading all of your work you truly have a talent for this I hope that you keep it up plus you don't keep your readers waiting years for the next book or series to come out. J a was the was really something special love the caring and loyal he was to his family as well as his friends he loved himself some Cassie as well as she did him and said that they couldn't just come out and tell each other out it really felt. Her mother was terrible in every sense of the word I hate she ended up with HIV but God don't like ugly you're no formal fashion. Jeff got exactly what he deserved as well as Naomi.. very sad that Tip & Kane were so very jealous of Ja instead of trying to have ambition and contine to rise. I would recommend this story.

Five Star Reader

Tha Pretty Pen Pusha has done it again. If you looking for a five star read even tho it's gonna have you feigning for more then this is the one. Fee should have never been blessed with children. I think Cassidy and Pig would have been better off left at a fire station. Jeff nasty azz don't deserve to breathe fresh air. I love Jah and although I think Lucky could be good for Cass, no one is better for her than Jah. Naomi got life fked up. She gonna either catch something she can't get rid of or Kane gonna fk her up cause she's nothing but a hoe with no morals. My heart goes out to Pig. I hope she gets the help and support that she's gonna need. 💚💚

Great Read

This book was so good from beginning to end and what a ending. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters. Held my attention and I couldn't put it down.....a page-turner. Some females shouldn't never, ever have kids, Fee is definitely one of them. Cassidy and Pig, endured so much in their young lives. I really like Jah for Cassidy, and hopefully, they express their true feelings in the next installment. Its so much drama, twist and turns that I can't wait to see what happens next. Hopefully, Jeff got exactly what he deserves; as well, Naomi trifling behind, she should've been Fee daughter. Great job Dedra B.

OMG

Dang! With a mother like Fee, who the hell could live a good life even if it's in the projects. I applaud Cassidy for trying her best to raise her sister and herself. Heaux is too good to even label Naomi as. Jeff sick arsr got everything he deserved. Fee better not be on no BS. Meme another fool on this road cuz whyyy play with people feelings like that. That alone could have sent her to her maker. Now she got caught up and tip isn't feeling it. What she gonna do? I hope all ends well with Cassidy because that fool had to go. Sorry NOT sorry!

Great Read!!!
I really enjoyed this story. I really hate the things that things that Cassidy and Chantel (Pig) went through with their trifling mother. Fee should be ashamed of herself. I surely hope she does right by her girls for once. I wonder how Lucky is going to play out with Cassidy. Hopefully her and Jah can be more than best friends. Naomi all I can do is shake my head at her. Meme, is trash. I don't know how I feel about Kane. It's like I want to like him, but being that Meme is his sister makes me want to dislike him. Ready for Part 2.

Great read

Cassidy has been going through so much all of her life and she keeps getting the bad end of the muddy stuck. Now she has to deal with this. I hope things start to look up for my girl. Jah, Blanco, and Lucky are some bossed up real ones for real. Jah and Cassidy need to stop playing and get with it because it's obvious that they want one another. Great read Dedra B. Can't wait until the next part. Truly hope that darn cousin get what she deserves and that sorry excuse for a mother. Pig has also been giving a bad deck. Hopefully things look up for Pig and Cassidy.

🔥🔥🔥

Wow! Wow!! I literally could not put this book down! I didn’t want to miss anything! 🤭Jah is everything, okay!!! I love his character and how he tries to stay out the way but folks just keep trying him! I love the way that he protects Cassidy. I feel so bad for Cassidy and Pig, they were really dealt a horrible hand. That, “mother” of theirs is trash! She has to go, I cannot take her serious. I absolutely felt like I was reading a movie scene, like I can imagine everything as I was reading! Dedra B did not come to play! Off to book two..

Wow 😒

I knew Jeff was gonna try Pig as soon as he was able to get her by herself, because Naomi cut him off so his perverted self went after the vulnerable one. Fee is a poor excuse of a mother and Cassidy is more better than her that's why she's jealous. Jah lawd that man is the truth, but how long will it take for both him and Cassidy to figure out that they really love each other. Meme is trifling and I know karma will aoon be catching up to her and Naomi real soon. Great read 🥰.

Sometimes friends are your only family

Cassidy and Pig was never properly loved or cared for by their mother. She degraded them and treated them terribly all the time. When Jah came into their lives, he not only saved them from being mistreated but he and his mom saved them from many cold winter nights. Thinking cuzn Naomi was going to help Cassidy she was also jealous of her and wanted what Cassidy had. After escaping her mom boyfriend Jeff sexual advances she ended up stabbing him for rapping her sister Pig…

Good read

Fee is a great example of an unfit parent. Cassidy and Channel deserve the world because what they’ve been dealing with isn’t fit for an animal. Jahon has a good head on his shoulders and a good heart, he’s a great friend and son. Cassidy and Jah both need need to stop fighting their feelings. Naomi is scandalous here and MeMe need to be friends. Anxiously awaiting the next part

Satisfied Reader

Let me get this out. I don’t like Fee,MeMe,Naomi nor Kane. Cassidy is my girl and I pray she don’t go down for what needed to be done to triflin Jeff. I like Jah but will he be team Cassidy or will Lucky luck up. Pig got a good big sister that’ll do anything for her and I just pray she don’t let Naomi stick her claws in her. This story was gods from start to finish and I can’t wait for pt.2

Straight fire!

Man, this story here... straight fire! Cassidy is my girl. She has a good heart and good head on her shoulders, too bad she's surrounded by effed up family members. Fee and Naomi deserve whatever rapture that's about to come their way. I'm glad that Jah is a good friend to Cassidy, but I hope he doesn't get to complacent in his lifestyle. This story has you feeling all kinds of ways. I wasn't expecting that ending but can't wait for the next book.

Book two me now

Book two me now. This cliffhanger baby. I Cassidy bail money and her back too. I don't like her momma or cousin. This bs right here is what pisses me off. So called grown women who claim they can't do or go without a man. A so call woman that puts her so called man over her kids. Dumb rabbit. Then still want to play these kids games.

Dedra B.

Sis you did that with this book and I can’t wait for part 2 to come out because you did that hands down. I loved it. I just hope that my girl doesn’t go to jail for saving her sister because baby that mother and cousin did her so wrong. Cassidy loved pig though no lie. I want Cassidy and Jah to be together though.

I didn't want it to end!

I can't stand Fee! She may be the dumbest unfit deadbeat I've read about. Naomi has is money hungry and is going to end up losing her life behind her ways. Jeff is disgusting and finally got what he deserved. I still want Cassidy and Jah together.

Part 1

I really like Cassidy. She is truly a rose growing in the concrete. Fee is a poor excuse for a mother. Jah is a good friend but they need to go ahead and be together. Poor Pig!
