the givens (or the futility of forgiveness)

written by Natyna Bean

Spitfire Karina knows what she wants and ain't afraid to let both loved ones and haters know, especially about her dreams of designing sneakers, no matter the cost. Yet when her father, Simeon unexpectedly returns to her life with a suspicious past, Karina risks it all by investing time and interest into building a relationship with him, leading those around her to withdraw from her life.
