Hold U Down by Keisha Ervin - Author Purpose

At the end of the story, Unique does quit, for the sake of saving her man, her sister, her mother that recently passed, her friends that died in one of their schemes, and for realizing that almost getting killed is not worth it. She had it rough coming up and she always thought that she would be a car thief and living off material things for the rest of her life. She now has a life of being with her husband, traveling over seas to start a new life, and leaving her history and bad news behind. The author's purpose for writing this book was to inform and also persuade readers that never give up on hope and faith. Think about the risks and possible outcomes of every step you take into every action. Don't let your past come into your future, let your past be the reason you are that positive, strong, and independent person you are today.
