Here is some brief info on the book:
-sometimes addictions on the street can’t be broken no matter what you do
-a miracle premature baby born on the side of the street
-a story of transitions filled with many highs and lows
-from living in a foster care home of a bad fairy tale to star performer on national TV
-from a singer in the church choir to signing a record deal
-from stealing a red prom dress to buying the most expensive clothes
-from being raped by the captain of the boys basketball team to seducing a famous rapper to selling your body for a hit of crack to finding the love of a family
-a story of pain, sadness and addictions that can’t be broken even after the lowest point is reached or maybe they can be.
My Recommendation: This book is a good read for older teens and young adults who can handle a brutal reality of one girls life growing up on the tough streets. Recommended for a public library - a must for the street lit collection.
