SCHEMIN’ by Andrea Blackstone

Jalita Harrison is a nineteen-year-old biracial woman who was born into a dysfunctional environment, but aspired to overcome it.

During Christmas break, she is left temporarily homeless and nearly penniless. As a result Jalita returns to Baltimore, where people from her past doublecross her.

Frustrated and desperate, Jalita decides to start running game in the nearby suburbs, using her good looks, wit, and street smarts to survive. Schemin’ becomes an addictive habit that leads her to abandon her college plans and self-imposed morality. When she and a handsome but engaged NBA basketball star agree to hook up on the down low, Jalita becomes part of a dangerous love triangle. Before it’s all said and done, the script is flipped on each party involved and each person is left to live with consequences of behaving badly.
