Tameka Oliver-Hicks

What does one do when all odds are stacked against you from the moment of conception? In Tamara Brown's case, the answer was simple enough; she would have to make her own way. Being raised by her grandmother and never getting a chance to meet her dad, Dysfunctional tells the story of Tamara's early childhood years as she struggles to overcome the void left by her parents' abandonment, which transformed her into a seemingly uncaring young lady. Was she really this atrocious teenager or was it just a way to mask the pain she endured?
At an age when most young girls are trying to decide what college to attend or what color should they paint their fingernails, Tamara had other pressing issues to worry about. She figured since life had dealt her a bad hand and rendered her a joke, she was determined to end up with a royal flush. It was up to her to change her destiny by any means necessary.
At times during this story, you'll find yourself rooting for her, and at times, against Tamara because as we all know, some actions that people commit are justified and some are downright evil. Tamara sits right in the middle of your emotional plane as the story unfolds.
This 235+ page novel reflects Tamara's journey through life as she betrays, seduces, and conspires to get what she deserves: A better life and revenge. If you are curious to find out if these aspirations were met or if life showed Tamara who was the boss, pull up a chair because you are about to take a trip down Dysfunctional Lane.
