"Sweet, innocent Yarni comes from a well-to-do family, but her life changes when she meets Des, Richmond's most notorious drug kingpin. They develop an unlikely love that separates Yarni from her family and friends. When Des is sentenced to life in prison, Yarni learns that being a hustler's wife isn't easy with her sole provider behind bars. Travel with Yarni as she survives life after the script gets flipped. At times she plays the game; at other times, the game plays her. Yarni's journey is filled with laughter, tears, failures, triumphs and above all, perseverance. This Nikki Turner original is a smorgasbord of manipulation, street life, greed, betrayal, envy, money, power, and the sweetest revenge."-- From back cover.
