Little Miami Girl

Antonia Taylor had been living in hell since day one. At the tender age of six, she lost both of her parents and was forced to move in with her aunt from hell, along with her aunt's four other children. Antonia is a senior in high school, attending Miami Northwestern. While the other students may be coming to school, sporting new clothes and new shoes, Antonia is always sporting new bruises on her body because at home, she is her aunt's punching bag, getting whipped for any little thing she does. Jahiem Carter is the hood's finest tattoo artists and quite the ladies' man. With all of the bruises on Antonia's body and her messed up lifestyle, Jahiem sees a beautiful girl who's just been dealt some bad cards in life and wants to get to know her as a friend but he can't help the physical attraction between the two. Join this little Miami girl as she deals with problems that no teenager should have to endure. Will Antonia be able to handle all of these problems by herself? Or will Jahiem be there to help her get through this thing called life?

Lies, betrayal, deceit, all take place in the second installment of Little Miami Girl. In part one, we got a glimpse into the things that Antonia had to endure over the course of her tumultuous childhood. Jaheim had swooped in and brought a ray of light to her dark existence, but the fairytale came to a screeching halt on that final night with Porsha catching Rick in Antonia's room. Even with Porsha confirming the truth that Rick is a sick pervert who likes to mess with younger girls, will that be enough for Antonia's aunt? Will she for once in her life step up and protect her family? Jahiem is deeply in love with Antonia and will do anything to protect her, but he struggles with her trust issues. He is determined to have an honest and loving relationship with Antonia, but she just needs to meet him halfway. Antonia, her aunt, and her cousin share a family secret that they agreed never to speak on, but what happens when Antonia is left with no choice but to finally confess? When the truth is revealed, everyone's lives will change. Will Jahiem be able to forgive yet another deception? Or will he finally be fed up with Antonia and all of her deep, dark secrets?

In the finale of Little Miami Girl, all secrets will finally come to the light. Antonia is no longer the timid and soft spoken girl that she used to be. She now has a voice, and she isn't taking any prisoners this time around. Her and Jahiem are still being thrown curve after curve but manage to face them head on and strengthen their bond. This book will make you laugh, smile, but most of all, it will make you cry because not everybody in this book will make it out alive this time around. Take one last ride with Antonia and let's just hope that she's one of the ones left standing in the end.
