She was the women who found herself in the middle of the East Coast/West Coast beef. She was Biggie's wife, and rumored lover of Tupac. If you ever wondered about the real story behind the glory days of Bad Boy, being Biggie’s wife, and the life of a single mom in the recording industry; Faith gives it to you straight with no chaser. Her life is full of twists and turns, ups and down, horror and happiness. After reading this memoir you will see how Faith has transcended into a balanced and fulfilled mother, wife, singer and now author.

Faith started her music career as a songwriter and session singer for Hi-Five, Christopher Williams, Al B. Sure, Usher, and Mary J. Blige. Her first meeting with Sean "Puffy" Combs in '94 turned into the beginning of her solo career which spawned her debut platinum album Faith. In the same year, she met and fell in love with label-mate The Notorious B.I.G. Their marriage marked the beginning of a turbulent relationship that would end in murder.
