Jazsmin Walters made herself a promise as a child. She watched her father treat her mother with disrespect year after year. She listened to his words and observed his actions. The 26-year-old decides no man will ever disrespect, neglect, stress, or abuse her the way her father did her mother. Her solution is simple: never get married. Jazsmin is attractive, charming, and well-spoken. She speaks her mind without hesitation. Her childhood vow shapes every relationship she enters. But time has a way of changing even the most firmly held convictions. As Jazsmin navigates her adult life, she must confront whether the wounds from her past will define her future or whether healing might open doors she once sealed shut.
