Let me start off by saying, “Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllllllllllll!”  J   These ladies do not play.    They are hard core whether in love or fighting the men that provoke them.   Three good urban stories but be advised they do not hold back on their language – this is street talk straight up and the characters live up to their images and the topics are brutal but again this stuff does happen and the stories here just give the reader the straight of what their characters are going through.   Real, gutsy ladies dealing with harsh circumstances some fatal.     Three stories – the first about three lovely young ladies who end up being placed with their biological father by the system after their mother passes.   Their father doesn’t want them until he sees how beautiful his preteen daughters are then he sees dollar signs in pimping them once they each turn 13.    The second story is about a sweet young lady who falls for the worst of the bad men.    He beats her then tells her he loves her.   He even lets his beyond lascivious friends have their way with her.   Her friends go after him and in a reap what you sow story everyone loses something.    The third story is about a young woman who has a 3 year old daughter and makes several bad choices along the way and it is soooo heart wrenching.      All of these stories are.      Gives the reader a view into life some folks never see.    Good stories.
