We’ve all heard the saying “live and learn,” but what happens when you never get the chance to live?
Kashae “Kash” Howard is a twenty-year-old who knows nothing about living life. Growing up in a home with a pastor as a father and a mother who hung on his every word and followed his every lead, her only hope at a normal life is when an unexpected blessing pushes her parents to leave town, leaving her behind in the care of her older sister and her brother-in-law. Looking forward to her newfound freedom, things that she thought she knew and things that she believed she wanted drive her into a tangled web of lust, lies, and deceit. Thinking that her sheltered life prevented her from having the life she always craved, little does she know that everything that glitters isn’t gold and everything she believes is far from the truth.
Karmen Howard Nash is the big sister to a sheltered Kashae. Unlike Kashae, Karmen is what is often referred to as the rebellious child. While most called her rebellious, she thought of it as living. She never allowed her father to run her life or dictate her moves like her mother and sister often did. Doing things her way, she married who she wanted, picked the career that she wanted, and always did things her way. But when the opportunity presents itself to bring her sister into her home, she doesn’t think twice about it. They were always close, but being six years Kashae’s elder, once Karmen got older, she had to leave the nest to live her own life as she saw fit, which put a strain on the relationship she once had with her baby sister. Thinking that bringing her sister into her home is a good thing not only for herself, but for her sister, she is ecstatic to have Kash move in. What she doesn’t bank on is her sheltered sister becoming buck wild and doing things her parents would have never approved of. Believing that Kashae is only going through a phase, she never talks down on her and allows her to do whatever she needs in order to find herself. But what happens when Kashae finds herself in the middle of something that could destroy everyone involved?
Is blood indeed thicker than water? Will a family survive the lies, betrayal, and deceit when everything hits the fan?
In this gripping the edge of your seat page turner, you are pulled into a family where lies are the norm and everything you believe no longer exists. Take a ride with the Howard sisters who not only try to discover who they are now, but try to bury where they came from.
I pray you enjoy part one of Lies, Lust, and Us…….A Scandalous Affair.
