In this inner-city twist on My Fair Lady, a young biracial woman struggles to escape her past and survive a new future as the moll of a notorious gangster. Beautiful, pampered Victoria is thrown into poverty when her wealthy white father dies. Forced to live with her black grandmother in a tough neighbourhood, Victoria is lost until Duke Johnson, the most feared gang leader in town, takes an interest in her. Everyone is afraid of him - but his kind, warm hidden personality is all she sees as she lets him take her virtue. Together they begin to rule the mean streets of the city.
I ENJOYED THE BOOK. I RECOMMEND IT FOR A PERSONAL LOOK AT HOW WHITE GIRLS(VIEWED AS WHITE GIRLS)ARE TREATED IN THE HOODS AND I CAN RELATE TO THAT TREATMENT. I CAN RELATE EVEN THOUGH I AM AFRICAN AMERICAN WITH DARK BROWN SKIN BUT MY PERSONALITY IS CONSIDERED WHITE.
