Power & Beauty Unabridged

By David Ritz and Tip "T.I." Harris

Book Overview

One of hip-hop's most accomplished and respected artists, T.I. now makes a bold leap into the world of fiction with the epic love story of Power and Beauty. Adrift after the death of his mother, Charlotte, Paul "Power" Clay turns to Slim, a local businessman, for guidance. Slim always has the best of everything, and if Power learns his ways, perhaps he'll someday be worthy of Tanya "Beauty" Long. Eleven years old when her own mother died and Charlotte Clay took her in, Beauty has always known that the only person she can rely on is herself. Now Charlotte is gone--and with Power being sucked deeper and deeper into a world of drugs, money, and violence, she turns her back on Atlanta . . . and on her growing love for Power Clay. Making the difficult transition from boy to man, Power begins to question the wisdom and the motives of those who have taught him what he knows--while Beauty takes the New York fashion world by storm. But she cannot forget what--and who--she left behind. And when Power really needs her, Beauty will risk everything to save the man she loves.
