Noni Starling had been trying to cope with the hand she’d been dealt her whole life. For as long as she could remember, the keys to survival had been drilled in her head. After her mother is incarcerated and she’s sent to live with her aunt, she’s forced to put those skills to use every day.In the midst of drugs, poverty, and violence, her aunt tries her best to set an example and show her the right way. The only problem with that was that, just like her mother, Noni lived for the fast life and the perks that came along with it. Money. Cars. Clothes. All of it intrigued her.
Unfortunately, perks weren’t the only thing the streets had to offer. Shootouts, kidnappings, and murder also came with the territory. Before Noni could catch herself, she’d fallen victim to the streets with no clear way out. With hate in her eyes and love in her heart, Noni is determined to escape her tragic reality by any means necessary.
