Three Urban Books authors have teamed up to bring the drama in this
latest installment of the popular Girls from da Hood Series.
Get It, Get It!* by Ms. Michel Moore:** Monica was conceived on a pile
of dirty clothes in the corner of a trap house. Cursed with a mother who
worshiped the crack pipe more than her children, she quickly learned a
Detroit reality: Get it how ya live or die trying. The young teenager is
forced to beg, borrow, and steal to make sure she and her siblings
survive to see another day. Cutthroat and conniving, Monica will make
it, no matter who she has to step on or step over.
You Can't Break Us*by Treasure Hernandez** Voodo and his girl, Moni, are
inseparable. Like a modern Bonnie and Clyde from the hood, they let no
one, even family, get in their way. When the people they do "around the
way" business with turn out to be verified snakes, the ruthless couple
gets revenge the only way they know how--street justice. With the law in
hot pursuit, it's Voodo and Moni against the world, just like they
always knew it would be.
So Far Gone* by Katt:** Sometimes love is the best feeling in the world,
but the wrong kind of love can turn you into an entirely different
person. When good-girl-turned-bad Renee gets together with Keithon, it's
them against the world, until the streets get to talking and their
fairy-tale relationship turns into a full-blown nightmare. Karma steps
in and has her way with the couple, and their lives will never be the
same.
