When the people she trusts most turn against her and her world comes crashing down after a brutal betrayal, Nakai must choose: stay broken or rise again, stronger than before.Nakai: The Campus Diamond is a gripping coming-of-age story about a young woman's journey through adversity, abuse, ambition, and her refusal to let the world define her.Inspired by real-life stories, this novel is a raw and empowering tale of love, loss, healing, and hope.
