    About this ebook

    Sherise never thought she’d get caught dealing, but when she did she knew she was in for a world of hurt. She’d never been to jail before, but she’s strong and knows she’ll survive.

    But the judge doesn’t send her to jail. He has something different in mind – a halfway house set on a farm. Instead of bars, there are barns, and animals, and work to be done.

    It’s worse than prison. That is, until Sherise meets Miller, the white man who owns the farm.

    She’s there to pay her debt to society...

    ...but all she can think about is Miller.

      Half Way

      It was stupid, I was stupid. Getting caught with that much pot on me was insanely stupid, yet I’d practically flaunted it. It was no wonder some pig caught me and brought me in.

      I was certain right then that my life was over.

      By some miracle, I’d found myself, at twenty-one years old, in front of one of them hippy judges who is all about alternative punishments. Of course, at first I thought I’d be better off getting thrown in the can. I was tough, strong, and didn’t take shit from no bitch. I could survive in prison if I had to, whatever.
