For seventeen-year-old Mya Bedford, life in a Detroit project is hard enough, but when her mother develops a drug habit, Mya has to take on raising her younger siblings. Too bad the only man who can teach her how to survive--her dad--is behind bars. For life. All he can tell her is that she'll have to navigate the mean streets on her own terms. Mya's not sure what that means--until her mother is seriously beaten by a notorious gang. Then it all becomes deadly clear. Vowing revenge, Mya uses her feminine charm to begin a slew of successful robberies against the guilty crew. But the path she's chosen gets complicated by a risky secret, a risky romance--and a scheme she might not come out of alive...
If you're like me and enjoy hood stories with a good plot you will definitely like this book. The main character endures so much at a young age, and her story will keep you engaged the whole way through. Definitely recommend this one.
