Amongst the glitter and glamour of the high-priced lifestyle of exotic dancing, sex, and drugs is the poignant tale of a streetwise, coquettish young woman born and raised on the tough streets of Detroit, who migrated to the heart of the south in the late 80s and early 90s, and grew up under the dazzle of the strobe lights and the salacious eyes of men with power, money, and prestige.

At times, her life seemed so glamorous and exciting on the outside, but it was marred by heartbreak, tragedy, and senseless murders. This book explains how life’s lessons that sometimes cost so much, often show that their value is worth every dime. For more information or to order the book, please visit:

Excerpt

I knew he was having a hard time with this situation. But, at this moment there was nothing else I could do for him. Just earlier this morning we checked into the Airport Renaissance, located in the heart of Atlanta’s finest—College Park. It wasn’t anything special, just enough to get the transaction completed.

“OK, let’s run down the plan,” Max suggested. “Alright.” I found myself saying as I kept on talkin’…“Chantal told me that the two dudes would be here tomorrow at sometime around noon.”

Max continued on with his understanding of the plan: “Now, we’re straight on the amount?” he asked, while I watched his shiny, diamond-linked bracelet do its dance up and down his wrist.
