Quote:Beware of the company you keep.
K'wan's urban fiction coming-of-age novel, Promise Broken, is set in the gritty streets of Newark, New Jersey. The story follows 17-year-old Promise Mohammed as she attempts to uphold friendships and new relationships - even if they lead to her demise.
After Promise's mother dies in a tragic car accident, it leaves a void in Promise's life that she is yearning to fill. This titular novel finds Promise spiraling into a life of crime and drug affiliation by the company she chooses to keep.
Also coping with abandonment and a lifelong broken commitment from her biological father, Promise ultimately has two goals: to graduate from high school and to be loved. But can she find the love that she seeks from Aunt Dell, two best friends, Mouse and Keys, or drug-dealer Asher - the man who captivates her - despite the fact that each relationship will lead to life-altering events? Only time will tell.
