Publisher's summary

In this shocking novel of a young girl alone on the streets, Donald Goines delves into yet another facet of the ghetto experience - the dark, despair-ridden world of a black girl's soul.

Sandra took to the streets when she was eight years old and tried to fight off the hunger pangs by shoplifting and moving into the profits of drug pushing. Then she met Chink, and with him she discovered love and affection...as well as rape and murder.

Perfect

I read this book years ago. The narrator did such a great job. All they need now is the movie. Keep up the great work.

Too Short

TOO SHORT. OPEN ENDED. SHOULDVE ALLOWED THE READER SOME KIND CONCLUSION. ROMEO & JULIET WITHOUT BOTH DYING ISNT RIGHT

Amazing!

I never turned it off! It was the best written and narrated work. Classic and well directed. The intelligence of the innocent and young was outstanding. I grew up in the inner city, and off the cuff of this era and the survival instincts were real...the loyalty and love were real. I am glad that I reached back for such a good read. Take the time and listen!
