About this listen

Baby Girl McCoy was given her name when her mother couldn't even be bothered to give her another one in the hospital after she gave birth. Baby Girl was the product of rape, and she spends her life in a quest for a father figure. Never in a million years did she imagine that she'd find it in the man that she does.

With a good head on her shoulders and a forgiving heart, Harlem Lee Jones discovers that some things in life must still be accounted for. She may have allowed her heart to find its way to God, but the devil is surely lurking close behind. Has she really left her mean-street ways behind her?These two dramatic stories filled with pain, heartache, and ghetto love, remind listeners that you can take the girl away from the ghetto, but she'll always manage to find her way back.

When young ladies grow up without father they tend to look for love in the wrong places. Fortunately for me I didn't go to far out there. This was a very good book.

Truth Be Told

Loved it! As real as it gets, but Baby's mama... I won't judge her not even a therapist could help her. Baby is better off with out her.

This was a great story line! The narrator did pause a lot to get her words together and stumbled a few times here and there but her voice was great for the story and she played the roles well- that part 2 of the story I didn’t see coming but I loved it! I hope it’s a part 3!

Great story

The lesson articulated in this storyline was uplifting. However, it disturb me deeply to know that our black young women far too often don’t seem to know their worth; previous circumstances, not with standby.

Love the conclusion
