Publisher's summary
When you’re in the game, nothing is ever sacred. Ever!
“My word is bond” is the phrase most commonly stated among the hustlers. The cutthroat styling of the haters is masqueraded by hugs, pounds, and love. Loyalty ain’t nothing but a word some dick made up to protect his head from the diseased, poverty-filled world of karma. And the only back niggaz got is the line they stand on before being sent back up North.
This is the game where anybody can be a winner and everybody’s always a sore loser. The doe is fast, and women come in abundance like ripened green bushels of plantains at the West Indian day parade. It can be good when everybody is getting it together. But if you start making even just a dollar more than the next man.... Just prepare yourself to spend time either in jail or in the cemetery because niggaz is snitching.
Keep your friends at a distance because it’s not always your enemies you need to be keeping close. The block is a microscope, and you’re always under it.

The only problem was that Nikki wanted everything: clothes, money, jewelry... But at the top of the list was Quilon – who, shockingly, didn’t want Nikki. Unfamiliar with being denied what she wanted (and certainly not accustomed to being...

On the surface, Mo Nique is the hottest stripper dancing at The Pink Palace, but on the inside, she’s really just Janelle Taylor, a teenage runaway trying to survive in Atlanta. Some people might want to call her a ho, but she’s the one your man is spending his whole paycheck on! This isn’t the life she envisioned for herself, but it’s the path she was forced to take in order to get by.
