This book was exiting all the way. Growing up in ny my self it really showed how "we" grow up over there. I remember my girls being razor ready and all the bust-downs and crackheads, and drug dealers on my block. Winter Santiaga portrays a girl who is really from brooklyn. This book also shows the way our black community can loose itself in the actions of the world and destroy our self from drugs. Keep writing great books SS you are a talented New York born author.
