Description
My name's Ke'Andre Lemmons. And despite my nickname being "Lemonade," I wasn't allowed to turn my lemons of life into that beverage no thanks to all the ones that were full of bitterness. 1.) My female-led family (a high-brow mom married to a wimp of a dad) hated me because I wasn't part of their planned "American Dream. 2.) Said family all bit the dust two weeks before I finished junior year of high school. And since I had no other relatives (or friends for that matter), I had tp plan their funerals with no one bothering to lend a hand (other than the saintly next-door neighbors). 3.) My mother dictated that I wasn't to have any inheritance and doomed me to homelessness with her selling the house. All that led me to wanting to end my life, something that I should've done back in middle school. But fate screwed up my plans and I'm left with a foster family and people who push me to let go of the pain and move forward. In all honesty, I want no part of it since my life's been full of too many disappointments already. I was waiting to die and be free from this hell. But when a smitten baseball player, his jealous girlfriend, and a lot of hidden secrets cross my path; I guess life's telling me that I'm not going to have it any easier and it's a sign for me to start living. From living in Lubbock to being in a LGBT foster family, my journey will be full of sour moments before I could truly have a sweet homecoming.
