Judge Me Not

Born the youngest two children of a drug addicted prostitute and absentee fathers, Nesha and Kwame Duhart are all each other have. Not even their grandmother is willing to step up to the plate and protect them from the poisonous elements of the hood. Regardless, Nesha refuses to allow her baby brother to become a statistic. So at the age of fourteen, she starts turning tricks. She despises it, but food, clothes, and electricity aren’t free. Into Nesha’s complicated life walks Durando Evans. The handsome jock from the suburbs and the girl from the ghetto fall madly in love. But their young romance crumbles when Nesha’s two worlds suddenly collide. Heartbroken, she swears off love forever and dives deeper into the game. She takes on a wealthier and more sophisticated clientele with very peculiar tastes in sexual pleasure. Then one of her regulars—a prominent pastor—is brutally murdered. Nesha becomes the prime suspect. An unjust conviction will land her in prison for life, shattering Kwame’s world by leaving him an orphan. Has every trick she’s ever turned in the name of love for him been in vain? Only time will tell as Nesha awaits the outcome of her fate in a jail cell while Kwame is thrust into an unfamiliar environment. It’s a tossup. Maybe justice will prevail, giving Nesha a second chance in life and at love and happiness. Or she’ll be sentenced to eternal damnation due to the sins of her past. Whichever way the tide rolls, Nesha is woman enough to own all of her misdeeds. And to all of her haters and the self-righteous who wish to cast stones, she has three simple words: Judge Me Not.
