In The Cut (29 page)

Saint grabbed her by the wrists and gently pulled her hands away from his face. He kissed them, and then kissed her on the forehead.

“Saint—”

About the Author

Arlene Brathwaite is a mother, wife & business woman. With the strength and fortitude that only a woman could have, she worked 3 jobs until she moved what was left of her family out of the ghetto. She has transformed her loss-pain into the will to expose the nightmares of street dreams. The nightmares hustlers seldom talk about. The nightmares that got two of the people she loved life bids in prison. My first two books entitled Youngin & the sequel to Youngin’ entitled Ol’Timer was inspired by one of the many tragic events in my life that has led many teens to prison. These books were so real to me in more ways than one. In the near future, I will be publishing a romance novel entitled Soul Dancing, followed by Devon and an autobiography entitled I’ll take you there. In writing these books, I was able to showcase my versatility in three different genres (Urban Fiction, Romance, and Non Fiction), because I believe an author shouldn’t pigeon hole him/her self. We should allow our inner selves to be free to express whatever needs to come to the surface.
