Nazareth Heights is a compelling story about a group of vibrant teenagers named the Faithful Four. The four friends reside in Nazareth Heights; a violent and challenging borough of the city. The Faithful Four made a vow in the sixth grade to always remain in the honor society, and become accepted into a prestigious Ivy League university. The Faithful Four's childhood covenant seemed absurd to some of the residents of Nazareth Heights, yet always remained an obtainable dream to the Faithful Four. Adrianna Williamson is a stellar student and an invaluable member of the Faithful Four. Adrianna's soul is at odds with her community and longs to flee her existence. She struggles with low self-esteem, and continues to grasp for her true identity and divine purpose.

"Adrianna...Adrianna! Look me in my face when I'm calling you. What's the matter you can't hear? or are you just as stupid and retarded as you look?"
Braxton Hill held her balled fist in the air, viciously mouthing the words, "you and me at three o'clock! You're going to wish you never messed with what's mine!"
Fear paralyzed Adrianna's entire body, her stomach began to twist and ache. Adrianna wanted to run, but her legs felt heavy and numb preventing her from escaping Braxton's malicious threats. Adrianna stood frozen against her locker continuing to stare into the sea of rushing students. A conniving smirk spread across Braxton's mouth. She quickly spun around and walked away with her signature sassy strut.
Adrianna's eyes slowly followed Braxton's rhythmic steps until her figure disappered into the crowd. Adrianna suddenly buckled over, grasping her throat and desperately panting for air. She struggled to stand. Her short shallow breaths immediately became deep and fluent when she recognized a welcome sight in the distance.
