title: Then There Was Us
author: Candice, Miss
description: Raised in the corrupt city of Detroit with two crackhead parents, Yemi & her big sister Sable were forced to grow up at a young age. Life had never been fair to either of them, but the only way from down was up. When the unimaginable occurs, Yemi loses all hope, sending her over the edge of sanity. Unlike his brothers, Azar’s attention was on things other than drug dealing and killing. His primary focus was on becoming a professional boxer, and his remarkable record was sure to land him exactly where he wanted to be. That is, if the lifestyle that the people around him lived didn't get in the way of it. During his pursuit of success, the young and lost Yemi Daniels comes into his life. Hopeless and with the will to die, Yemi gives Azar no other choice but to save her. Thing is, Yemi didn't want to be saved. She wanted nothing more than to be left alone to sulk in her own sorrows. When a high school friend resurfaces, everything changes, and she finds hope in a life she had lost all hope in.
