Tonesha - Up from the Depths

Book excerpt: Tonesha Barnes is a young woman with a checkered past and questionable future. She has survived the streets of Cleveland, Ohio for ten years by her wits, savvy and sheer luck. She has paid for those years in a telling toll. Out of an act of frustration, Tonesha has jeopardized her freedom. Opportunity comes from an unlikely person that believes in Tonesha more than she does herself. With desperation setting in for both Tonesha and her benefactor, time is running out. Armed with the strength to not surrender no matter the odds, Tonesha fights with determination instilled by her mother that gave up on life long ago. Tonesha is who we all strive to be, man or woman, when we want better out of life and it is just out of reach.
