About this listen
Watching her ailing mother waste away after a serious stroke, makes things even tougher for her.
The love she has for her man Keenan is what gets her through these troubled times.
Together, they plan on getting out of the projects in Harlem. But unfortunately, that journey won't be an easy one.
A traumatic event at her workplace shatters her fragile mental state. She doesn't ever want to go back there. There's got to be a better way to live.
Will she be able to overcome the deep depression that she feels herself sinking into? Or will the burdens of life finally be too much for her to bear?
For several years, Keenan was in and out of trouble and in and out of jail. Dabbling in the street life led him to missing the birth of his son Marcellus. The guilt from that period still weighs heavy on his heart.
He wants to do everything in his power to make things right with his son and his lady Jayla. That's why he’s stayed out of trouble for the last few years and worked a square job.
For some reason, he just can't shake his criminal instincts. He gets impatient and plans on hitting a lick. He's going to steal from his employers and escape NYC with the cash.
It's a high-stakes plan. If it goes wrong it could ruin everything he's been trying to build. It may also cost him his life.
Will he go through with this dangerous plan? Or will they control his desire for quick cash and stay on the straight and narrow path?
BBW Struggling for Love is a fast-paced, African American Romance that will dig into your soul, curl your toes, and make you tingle all over... Enjoy!
