Additional Information:
The story takes place in Delaware, starting in New Castle County and ending in Dover. The main character, Lanai, is a young lady that comes from a fortunate, but not-so-proud background. She is the product of a one-night stand, but her father is a noble man and takes care of his responsibilities. He provides her, her mother, and “adopted” sister with the best lifestyle that money could buy. While Lanai doesn’t want for anything materialistic, she does yearn for the father-daughter connection that she never had.
The yearning for the relationship with her father and teenage curiosity leads her to become involved with a local drug dealer, Makai. Makai is not the ordinary block hustler. He moves in major ways and has a long term goal that has nothing to do with selling drugs, going to jail, or dying. Neither Lanai or Makai expect to fall in love with each other, and when they do, it becomes explosive at times. Makai turns out to be exactly what Lanai needs, not just a lover and friend, but also a father-type figure. This comes at a high price, costing Lanai her dignity, self-respect, and sanity. With the loss of two babies and the connection with her sister and mother, Lanai feels like there’s nothing to live for.
Makai decides that the city is no place for the woman that he loves and intends to make his wife, regardless of the fact that he has no intention of changing his lifestyle. He moves her to a mini-mansion in an elite community in Dover, hoping that it will keep her close to him and keep her busy. However, the separation, the many losses and the move causes Lanai’s life to spiral completely out of control. She goes from being an innocent good girl to a drug using, club hopping whore and there seems to be no turning back.
Makai continues on with life with his “mistress” when Lanai decides to go off the deep end. They have a baby on the way and life for the mistress is good until Lanai’s sister calls Makai and asks him to look for her. When he finds her drug-crazed and soaking wet in the rain, he takes her home and takes care of her. He leaves his jilted mistress to complete the last few months of her pregnancy alone while he puts Lanai into a rehab. Lanai asks him to stay away so that she can complete rehab with depending on him, yet again. While she’s gone, he continues to live with his mistress and raise his newborn daughter. But when she calls and says she’s ready to be discharged, he is at her beck and call.
Lanai feels like life is back on the right track and things between her and Makai are only going to get better until she gets a phone call from the mistress, blowing the cover off of Makai’s secret. When Lanai decides to pay the mistress a visit, she gets the surprise of her life that almost ends her life.
