A Crave for Love: An Urban Memoir

By Tropeca Monic Mott-Allen

A Crave for Love is a raw, unfiltered memoir about survival, desire, loyalty, and the dangerous ways love can blur into addiction. From the streets of the DMV to the chaos of hustling, incarceration, motherhood, and betrayal, Monic tells her story without apology. Loving men who couldn't love her back. Navigating the underground world while trying to protect her children. Losing herself while fighting to keep everyone else together.
This is not a redemption fantasy.
This is the truth about craving love in places where love was never meant to live.

This is a story about:

Loving men who couldn't love back the same way

Raising children while still healing yourself

Breaking cycles you didn't create

And learning that sometimes survival looks like letting go

As Monic searches for connection through relationships, sexuality, power, and survival, she begins to confront the hardest truth of all: the love she was chasing from others was the love she had never learned to give herself. A Crave for Love is a story for anyone who has ever stayed too long, loved too hard, or confused pain with passion, and lived to tell it.

This memoir stands alone, but the story doesn't end here.
