About This Book
Sincere Jerrell Owens, known to family and friends as Rell, is a 22-year-old ex-con on a road to redemption from his criminal past. He's done time in the toughest prison in Illinois, and after doing two years on parole and house arrest, he vows to stay on a positive path and to set a good example for Jahlil, his younger brother. With the help of his father, David "Big Man" Owens, a recovered drug addict with a growing list of properties in the Chicago area and a money-hungry wife, Rell manages to keep himself out of trouble...until Jahlil gets drawn into the very same street drama that Rell himself is trying so vehemently to avoid. Tamera and Tirzah Lyon are sisters who live together in an apartment in one of Big Man's properties. Pressed for love after experiencing a recent heartbreak, Tamera mutters a prayer to God while spending a lonely Christmas Eve with her sister. She prays for a good man. That's all she wanted for Christmas. Nothing extra. Not a man with a ton of money, not some kind of business owner - just a fine, good, honest, loving man who will love her just as much as she will love him. Minutes later a man knocks at her door. She opens it and finds Rell, her landlord's son, and he is everything she had just prayed for...or so it seemed.
