Lit -- A Toxic Relationship Up In Gaslighting Flames

"e;LIT"e; cinematic novel, based on the LIT short story and screenplay, masterfully revisits Mason J. Abrams, a 30-something upward and mobile Christian architect, who mistakenly gives the keys to her heart, house, and "e;natural curves"e; to a gaslighting, abusive parole officer, Kevon I. Lofton. Kevon is guarded about lower-decibel conversations in the basement while keeping division between Mason and "e;Baby Mama,"e; Egypt, on Facebook. Mason battles inner spiritual conflict that becomes more difficult to appease with Church Tithes or Victoria's Secret gifts from marriage carrot dangling Kevon. A drained Mason has to war against Kevon's smear campaigns psychologically; it is a distribution list that includes, the Church pastor, cousins, friends, colleagues, and even a cashier associate at the Foot Locker.  It is not until police officers are dispatched to a complaining neighbor's domestic violence 911 call that Mason is confronted with the unavoidable reality check of the unmasked Kevon I. Lofton and her wobbling "e;faith walk"e; to the steady arms of Jesus Christ (256.PP).
