Growing up in a two-parent household, Salathio has all a child could ever ask for. A day never passes by without a hot meal on the table and enough love that can clear the cloudiest of days.
The early morning hours of September 6, 1988 will prove to him that what you see isn’t always what it appears. His parents’ marriage isn’t as pristine as they have been putting off, and that becomes crystal clear as his father rants and raves with a gun aimed at his head while urging him, “Don’t be like your dad. Love makes you a fool. Look at what it allowed your mother to do to me. I’m losing my family to another man—a family that was promised to me by God because your mother didn’t honor and cherish her vows the same as I did.”
Salathio’s father’s anguish and blast from his nine-millimeter service weapon will forever taunt him like a pesky gnat and ultimately disarm his ability to love. His once bright and promising future to play basketball is outdistanced and the troubled soul seeks solace in the streets—becoming VA’s biggest drug lord. Anything past money and family, he doesn’t make time for it.
However, love is an emotion that has a way of taking initiatives against your wishes, something Salathio will soon learn and isn’t in any way prepared for. One night with Kanerie—a feeling that lies dormant for so long will shake up his entire world—obliviating his sense of reasoning as he infiltrates on what was promised to another man by God. The heart wants what the heart wants, no matter the circumstances, and Kanerie will become territory that he dares one to cross. It’s just one thing, her husband will not take that kind of disrespect laying down.
