Like Monster but for women and less biographical.
This book wasn't what I expected from this author. A slow and awkward start but a rapid change once you get past the first few chapters. This book gave me insight into the life of a woman growing up in a hardened environment with limited options. With every decision the characters make it's like watching an friend make good, bad and questionable decisions with a level of greyness when you think about it. A good book for black american youth living in similar situations. A cautionary tale but also a relatable one for some.

A classic.
I absolutely loved re-reading this book which I purchased for a friend who hadn’t read it yet I would definitely recommend for late teens/early 20s WOC. It’s also a great conversation starter as whenever I read this book in public people always approach me to tell me how much they enjoyed it too and ask my opinion on it.

woah - a true ghetto story
This is one of the best books I've ever read! Sister Souljah puts it down once again. A raw story on hiphop, money, drugs, sex and power - simply a true ghetto story! I didn't even wanna go to sleep cause I wanted to know how the story ends... This book tells the story of a young woman called Winter. Growing up in a well living African American family, their wealth came from drug-dealing. Once the empire breaks down, Winter's daddy gets locked down and Winter has to make it on her own. But she's cruel, sexy, powerful, uninhibited and not willing to give in...

Amazing
I'm only half way in and already I can't put this down. The story is gripping and literally straight from the streets. The best thing about it is it can be enjoyed by anyone from any race, class or creed which shows the power of Sister Souljah's writing. This novel is a must buy!!
