About this ebook

What would you do if you felt like you were dying and the only thing that could save you was the very thing that was killing you?
Persia Chandler doesn't know the meaning of the world struggle. After the arrest of her notorious father, she is whisked away from Harlem, the only place she has ever called home, to be raised in an affluent neighborhood in Long Island City. Her mother and stepfather shower her with the best that life has to offer. During her senior year in high school, she convinces her parents to let her transfer from Catholic school to attend public school. That is the start of her problems—but it's hardly the end.
In her new school, Persia is reunited with the friends she was forced to move away from, and starts to drift further and further from the life her mother and stepfather have built for her. To the sheltered Persia, the Harlem underworld is like one big adventure. Things promise to get even more interesting when she starts dating a dealer named Chucky. He introduces her to his world of sex, money, and drugs, dragging Persia along with him on a long and bitter ride into the bowels of addiction.

Ratings and reviews

The book is OK I really like little monks character I really don't care for the main character Persia and her naivety hey when we were all teenagers we were a little rebellious and that she is spoiler alert the fact that face was responsible for the death of two of Chucky's brother I can understand his need to get revenge what I don't like is how she betrayed her friend karen I won't be reading books two or three I really dislike trilogies but I would really like to know what happens with little monk

This book keeps you wanting more. I took it out of town with me and found myself wanting to keep reading it verses going out.

Reading the Paperback version loving the book, upset at certain characters in the book but loving it. Keep the good work can't wait to finish the other two
