According to 24 year old Kardea (Kar-DEE-AYE) Gaines, her life is akin to being in a whirlpool. For every day that she feels she’s finally made it above water, there’s another one that sucks her back under. Her inner child is broken and harboring secrets. Her teenage self is full of resentment and hatred. Her current self is weighed down by the past and present drama. Still she inhales, exhales, puts her best foot forward, and keeps it moving. Her life does have its bright spots; her friends and the discovery of a love unlike any other she has ever experienced. The only thing is, they don’t know the half, and she prefers to keep it that way. But what happens when life throws her a curve ball, and she’s forced to address her past and be completely honest with those around her?
