She didn't know the heavy price they had to pay right away: the fear, the abuse?mentally and physically. Admiring her girlfriend?s diamond ring one day, the nickname 'Ice' was pinned on her almost forever. Mandy was, in fact, a diamond in the rough, coming of age and conforming to a lifestyle which had only a dead end waiting for her. When true love, kindness, and respect embodied by Mark, aka 'prince charming,' attempts to rescue her from that life, he is met at the altar with gunfire, courtesy of Tyler, Ice?s ex-boyfriend from the hood.
