Synopsis: When Tami was a little girl, her father would tuck her in each night with words of wisdom and a prayer before she closed her eyes. As the years flew by, she remained her daddy’s little girl. When she found herself pregnant at sixteen and in love with a bad boy, she felt ashamed at the disappointment and hurt in her father’s eyes. Still, Tami was aroused by Junior, who brought excitement and danger into her life. It is the story of a young woman whose search for love spiraled into a world of toxic relationships and drug abuse. Born out of the true personal memoirs of writer Marika Inn, crafted and brought to life as an inspirational story of despair and self-discovery. It is a celebration of the human spirit… you can rise above the challenges that life continues to throw your way.
