Character Breakdown
Kace- This young man is powerful. Raised in a morally righteous family, Kace shows the exemplary aptitude it takes to navigate life. Not only a college man but a Frat, Kace knows what it takes to be excellent. If only he could get the young woman he had his sights set on forever. He got the perfect Segway to an introduction and once he makes himself known he is smitten from the start. That is until he realizes that he will have to put his love into action.
Keonshay- Beauty and brains go hand-in-hand to compose the foundation of this beautiful woman. She lives life simply and with more responsibility than the average twenty-one year old. It is her responsibilities that have her focused on her education in order to provide them with a better life. She does not party or enjoy the life of the young and free. In her heart she wants to live so, imagine her surprise when her crush steps into her already chaotic world. How can she expect him to see her past the embarrassment that is her environment?
Story from my perspective
Automatically I knew that this story was going to have me deep inside my feelings. You step into a world that is all to familiar in the black community. The world where the oldest sibling is virtually the mother/father to the younger children. The pressure that surrounds that type of circumstance, is all over Keonshay’s shoulders.
You admire Keonshay’s strength and connect to the fortitude it takes her to be selfless. When you are the guide to six younger siblings, you tend to be selfless by default. You watch her jiggle school and raising these babies with no assistance from her parental unit. No matter what she understands that her love for them will have her risking even herself just to ensure they can live outside of their reality. Her desire to have a social life is there but it’s a feeling easily ignored because she has to take care of the little one’s. That is until her crush steps on the scene and she is laid bare.
Kace had his eyes on Keonshay for more than a year. This beauty who came to school focused and serious about her education. All things he admires in the opposite sex. He never thought he could get close to her until he jumps out on the limb and shoots his shot. From the beginning he can feel how guarded her heart was. It did nothing to prevent him from trying to tear her walls down. When he gets a glimpse into her life it does not make him run it makes him want to be the strength she can depend on.
The journey of this beautiful couple was rife with, stepping stones that would have halted any other love story in development. I valued the perseverance they showed in pressing forward even when life was at it's ugliest. Even more than that was the message in the story concerning generational curses. How your past, if left unhealed, will be reborn into your progeny. Had me thinking about how those before us don't understand healing because they have never been healed. This story really touched my heart in so many ways and had me contemplating my life as a whole and the legacy I intend to leave my own children. I hope it can invoke the same feelings in you.
