Rating: - The Father of it all
Donald Goines hits the nail on the head with this book. I was reluctant to read it because it is so old. I thought the language would be so hard to follow but it wasn't at all.

Rating: - BEST EVER!
My sister brought this book home from a friend when she was in high school...when she began to read it, she was wrapped up in it and read it in two days! I had to know what the fuss was about so I read it also...this book was so compelling and a fast read- everything is happening so fast in this young girl's life you get caught up in it with her! I definitely recommend this! yound and old!
