Read by the author — the man whose life became Sing Sing.
Divine G narrates every page himself. Dinasia’s fear, Tislam’s fury, Shateeks’s charm, the Brooklyn and New York City rhythms nobody else could fake — delivered in the voice of the writer who built them. This is the story exactly as it sounded in his head.
An innocent man is serving thirty-to-life. The woman who loved him is married to the man who put him there.
Brooklyn, 1994.
Dinasia Whitman and Tislam Parker grew up together in the New York State foster care system with nothing but each other. With graduation only four months away, they have one plan: leave Brooklyn behind and build a life together.
Then Dinasia's foster brother is murdered.
The evidence points to Tislam.
A jury convicts him in three days, and a judge sentences him to thirty years to life.
Tislam is sent to Green Haven Correctional Facility, where innocence offers no protection. Dinasia is left behind—and Shateek Davis, the charming and well-connected man who has wanted her for years, finally gets his chance.
Five years later, Dinasia has built the life she once dreamed of: a psychology degree, a career with Queens County Social Services, a home in Nassau County, and a husband who worships her.
But Tislam has never stopped fighting to prove he was framed.
Then a dead woman's videotape surfaces.
And Dinasia discovers that someone is willing to do whatever it takes to keep its secrets buried.
No Other Love is a gripping crime thriller about wrongful conviction, betrayal, buried secrets, loyalty, and the devastating price of living with a lie.
At its heart is a question with no easy answer:
How much are you willing to lose for someone the world has already written off?
For readers who enjoy urban fiction, African American crime drama, wrongful-conviction thrillers, prison fiction, and literary suspense, No Other Love combines a compelling love story with a dark exploration of justice, survival, and the consequences of choosing between the life you've built and the truth you've tried to leave behind.
