Growing up in the hood isn't easy . Murders , shootouts , drugs , prostitutes and dope boys are normal . Imagine being sucked in the gritty at just sixteen years old . Cashmere always had it rough with an absent father and drug addict for a mother...

Okay so I used old pictures of them to make them look a little younger because this book will start off in past tense and then go into current time so they have to look young first basically , lol . Also if y'all have suggestions for a cute dark skin male character let me know because Riq was supposed to be dark skin .
