Like everyone who read Commitment, I know they will all agree that Keisha Crawford was a despicable character. So I was somewhat hesitant in wanting to read a book about her. I had to read the other reviews to help me decide and boy am I glad that I did. This book was soooo well written. Nia Forrester knows how to tell a story. Her writing skills are AMAZING.Keisha has been a kept woman. The mistress of old white men. Charlie, her last sugar daddy seemed to have been her favorite. He set her up in a luxury apartment, bought her expensive jewelry and took her to places that ordinary people did'nt have access to. Keisha wanted for nothing materially. Charlie ups and dies and her life changes overnight. The luxury apartment is in his daughters name and she has been given two days to vacate the premises or be forcibly put out. What is she to do? She has very little money because Charlie rarely gave her cash. She did have expensive jewelry, clothing and furniture.Keisha moves back to Brooklyn to her fathers house to stay for a short while until she picks up another sugar daddy. She did not expect to meet someone from her old neighborhood who would eventually make her think about the poor choices she has made in her life. Jayson is an ex-con who also lives in her fathers house. He is handsome and she doen'nt want to like him. Turns out he is very likeable and the chemistry between them is undeniable.Jayson and Keisha develop a relationship where they both end being therapy for each other. He is brutally honest with her and tells her why he thinks she chooses to be a mistress. BUT Keisha is afraid to tell him the WORST thing she has ever done. He has confided in her his worst deed but as far as she is concerned her deed is far worst. How will Jayson handle what Keisha finally tells him she did?This book is a must read. Nia forrester did not make Keisha a victim of her circumstances. All the wrong decisions she made she did so without thinking twice. This book though gives an insight as to why. It does not give excuses because there are none. The book gives hope that a lost soul can find redemption.
