Derek's Dilemma Derek was a nice, quiet little boy who grew up idolizing
his older brother, Marcus. After Marcus was sent to prison, his influence on Derek became very obvious. He dreaded his hair,
got tattoos and gold teeth, and sold drugs just like his brother. Derek also realized his gift of fighting and started beating
cats down for the fun of it.
While living the “thug life,” Derek falls in love with Keisha. Their relationship
is in constant competition with his lifestyle. To add to his problems, he unknowingly hooked up with Keisha’s sister
and later her best friend. He feels bad until he catches Keisha in another relationship. His anger gets the best of him, and
he is put in jail for attempted murder on her boyfriend. There are two sides to Derek: a good side and a bad side. The two
sides are in a constant tug-of-war.
First book in the Trilogy
KEISHA'S DILEMMA During the summer
before her senior year, Keisha Martin’s simple life started to change. Dating Derek Cole behind her father’s back
triggers a chain of events that changes her life forever. Keisha lives in a strict Christian environment, and although Derek
is thoughtful and sweet, their relationship is a classic example of good girl falls for bad boy. Derek’s hair, gold
teeth, tattoos, sagging pants, and drug activity lead Keisha’s father to believe he is a thug. The drama of their romance
only ignites the flame that is her life. Choosing a college, pressure to try marijuana, a pregnancy scare, and cheating on
Derek are difficult challenges that could change her life. To make things worse Keisha gets into a fix with her best friend
Amber, and ultimately thinks about killing her. This should be the happiest time of her life, but every day she’s faced
with a life-changing dilemma.
