What happens when silence becomes the loudest thing in the room? Set in a gritty urban neighborhood lit by porchlights and haunted by buried truths, BLACK is an emotionally raw, unapologetically honest novel about love, betrayal, and the weight of secrets left unspoken. After five years away, Dre returns home to find more than just ghosts — he finds his late brother Marlon's journal. What's written inside doesn't just open wounds. It rips the mask off the neighborhood's most trusted faces: a crooked cop, a beloved deacon, and the silent ones who stood by. With help from Tasha — his ex, his maybe, his mirror — and a community stitched together by struggle and survival, Dre must confront the cost of exposing the truth. Will it bring healing, or destroy what little peace he has left? Told with poetic clarity, street-level wisdom, and characters you'll never forget, BLACK is more than a novel. It's a confession. A reckoning. A love letter to those who stayed and those who couldn't. For fans of urban drama, literary fiction, and stories that cut deep and leave something behind.
