Blue Hearts and Red Diamonds

By DANAJA Johnson

In an era where you had to choose a side, your stance, speech and dress could determine your future, Authors William Childs and Danaja, came together to bring you one of the most unusual love stories that you'll ever read. After living with the losses of her husband and oldest son, Patrica Blount is fed up with all of the gang violence of Los Angeles. She's made a pact to get her youngest and only remaining son Corey, away from the streets of South Central. As a remedy, Patrica decides to move far away from the negativity that surrounds her family to a place where nobody knows them nor of the lifestyle that might seal Corey's fate. Knowing nothing other than being down for his set, he felt lost without his homies, and most of all the love of his life, Kyla. At seventeen, and on the other side of the map, in Newark, New Jersey, where for the first time ever, Corey felt free. While trying to hold onto a long-distance relationship, he falls face first for a girl named Janelle. The only problem is she's from the other side of colors. With no one knowing his true identity, and Kyla thousands of miles away, Corey broke the G-code. But how long could he keep up his web of lies, lust, secrets in the name of love before it all blew up in his face? Follow his journey through this bi-coastal love affair and think about what you would do.
