A Hood Wife: A Thug Love Story

The word “struggle” was Kenya’s middle name. At the tender age of 17, she had experienced more in life than most women twice her age. Taking on the responsibility of her little sister added a new layer of complexity she didn’t need. The burden of raising a child while still a child herself forced Kenya to live a life that was out of her control. With no one to turn to, not even to the woman who birthed her, she was left to learn all about life with no guidance or even the slightest sense of direction. That was until she met Carter and her life drastically changed in the most unimaginable ways.

Carter is a headstrong, street, hood guy, yet a lover at heart. From the first day he met Kenya, he instantly drew to her. When he steps in and shows her different, their new lives instantly took off together. They bonded and connected like no other, catching them both by surprise. This newfound love made them feel something that they never experienced before.

With love, sometimes it attracts drama and hatred from others; Imani was no stranger to that lifestyle. Two-faced, hurt, confused, and with a list of hidden truths. Imani allowed her past to create a demon inside of her; a demon, not even she could destroy until it was too late. When her actions turned everyone close to her lives upside down, she now faced to reveal only one face; the truth shocks everyone in her circle, including her.

When things stopped going as planned, Kenya and Carter receive unexpected news and visits from strangers of their past. Mixed emotions and prior wounds allow them both to handle the situations differently; taking them on a ride neither of them expected. The question now stands, should they forgive and forget? Or keep their wounds unhealed?
Everyone needs love and this hood love is like no other. Will Kenya and Carter’s past change and affect them in the worse way? Or will it make them stronger, and better, for each other?
