Daria Nelson’s life seems perfect. She’s the apple of her father’s eye, the love of Maurice’s life, and a straight-A sophomore at Howard University. But all is not as it seems. Daria is angry with her father…because her father is angry with her. After all this time, Adrian Nelson still doesn’t like Maurice, an attitude which makes no sense to his daughter. Maurice is the handsome owner of a successful West Philly barbershop and the kind of guy any girl would be lucky to have. So what’s not to like? Well, no, he hasn’t exactly supported Daria’s decision to matriculate some 150 miles away, but college hasn’t been everything Daria expected either. Though confident in her choice of English as a major, she has no idea what she wants to do with her life and feels constant pressure to figure it out. And with all these issues jockeying for her attention, all Daria wants is peace and another 4.0.
