Love, loyalty, and danger in Flint

Set in Flint, Michigan, the novel centers on Raven, the daughter of a powerful figure in the city’s drug trade. Her relationship with Mizan—a young stick-up kid—pulls her away from the protection her father tried to provide and into a life shaped by isolation, violence, and fear. The story traces the tension between Raven’s attachment to Mizan and her growing recognition of the danger he poses, while her repeated attempts to leave meet the force of that attachment. Its urban-crime setting frames a relationship in which love, loyalty, and the search for a way out become closely entangled.

Book overview

In the little city of Flint, MI, the good die young and the people left standing are the grimiest of characters. With reign over the city's drug trade, Benjamin Atkins made sure that his precious daughter, Raven, was secluded from the grit that the city had to offer. But when Raven's young heart gets claimed by Mizan, a stick-up kid in search of a come-up, there's nothing Benjamin can do about losing her to the streets. She chooses love over loyalty and runs off with Mizan, but her new role as wifey soon proves to be more than she can handle.

Puppy love always feels right, but things turn stale, and she soon finds that everyone she loves has disappeared. All she has is Mizan, but when hugs and kisses turn to bloody lips and black eyes, she realizes that Mizan is not who she thought he was.

Raven becomes desperate for a way out, but this time, Daddy can't save her. Every time she finds the courage to leave, fear convinces her to stay. Like a moth to a flame, Raven is drawn to Mizan, even though she knows he'll be the death of her. When the hood life she chose becomes unbearable and the only way out is in a coffin, what will she do?
