Publisher's summary

Karla and Lila are teen sisters growing up on the east side of Atlanta during the 1990s crack epidemic. They are the daughters of a mother affected by the epidemic. After their mother mysteriously disappears, with no father around, and being raised by an older woman that goes by the name Mama B, the girls have to learn and fight hard to maneuver and succeed in life—lest they follow in their mother's footsteps or fall into the traps that surround them. The strong-willed Karla is determined to carry both her and her older sister, Lila, through high school, college, and into a successful life beyond what they know.

Chasing those goals, she meets an interesting soul from the streets of Miami, which actually managed to be a rival city to the Atlanta streets in those days. Over time, the two of them develop a very strong and interesting connection that is filled with many surprises. Both girls will come face-to-face with heartache and many challenges, making their story one of the most unforgettable tales ever found in the urban streets of Atlanta.
