Decisions

Saadri Buard is the "love child" of Damas Buard and Ellen Weston. She is the second of three daughters born to a rakish Creole college boy. Saadri is raised in a low-oncome, single parent household in New York City and is on the cusp of adulthood. Transition isn't always easy. How does one continue to believe in God when one loses everything? Saadri takes a journey she's unsure she'll survive.

Najid Raenier always believed he was smart enough to use the system and thus far it has worked. He's watched Saadri Buard for a long time, unsure of whether to approach. When she finally becomes his, he has to recalculate his plans. Yet, he doesn't find it easy to extricate from the system he's exploited. He may end up losing everything - if he's not smart enough to figure out how to keep it.
