About this item
Being raised in the game by conniving, money-hungry, married-to-the-streets parents, the only thing seventeen-year-old Porsha Jackson was sheltered from was fairytales. Calvin, her father, is one of the most feared and respected drug dealers in the city, and Trinity, her mother, has a reputation for a firm hand and on-point aim. From hustling and grinding to balancing a few hours of school a week to keep social services off the family's back, Porsha has been groomed from an early age to hold her own and help run the family's business. Now that she's a few months away from turning eighteen, she's anxious to be grown and have freedom from Cal and Trin's control. All she wants is to have a lavish apartment and cuddle up with her secret boo, Elvin "Street" Thomas, who also happens to be one of her father's most trusted street hustlers.
