Gateway to Sin - Paperback

by Teresa Seals (Author)

Meet Rico, the daughter of a three-card Monte hustler and a mother whose ambition could out-hustle any man on the block. Born into a world where survival is a skill and secrets are as good as a stack of Ben Franks. Rico quickly learns that power never comes without a price.

When buried truths start clawing their way to the surface, the fragile balance between love and loyalty begins to crack. Every lie told to protect the family ultimately threatens to destroy it from within. As she fights to uncover who she truly is, Rico finds herself caught between the legacy she inherited and the freedom she craves from it.

Gateway to Sin is a gritty, emotional urban drama that exposes the cost of ambition, the weight of family secrets, and the lengths we'll go to for redemption. Set against the pulse of St. Louis, it's a story about bloodlines, betrayal, and the dangerous power of truth because some gateways, once opened, can never be closed when they are built on sins that cannot stay hidden.
