Status: I slightly edited the first chapter, you can reread it if you like :) But it's not imperative.

Control.

Mariah is a woman who doesn't have much control over her life. It's driven by her friends and family. They choose what she wears and what she does. She stays attached to things she shouldn't and falls in love with men she shouldn't. The only thing she does for herself is drink, and she can barely get that right either.
